SATA errors/messages after upgrade to 2.6.20.7

[alex=lists-linux-kernel@yuriev.com]

It is a Samsung HD501LJ SATA drive connected to 631xESB/632xESB controller.
Reading and writing every block of the drive does not generate any other
errors/failures. This is observed in 2.6.20.7 like a clockwork on any
badblocks -v run or rebuild of a MD raid1 array onto the disk. 

It, however, was not observed on 2.6.18 in 182 badblocks -v runs followed by
rebuild of MD raid1 array.

Any idea what it might be?
