Chris, A search that is actually useful: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22tag+0+cmd+0xb0+Emask+0x1+stat+0x51+err+0x4+(device+error)%22 yeilds 1-5 of 15 hits (one of which is Dan's email). Hits on Google for some random terms does not equal information, sorry. Dan, I get these errors too: Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1.00: tag 0 cmd 0xb0 Emask 0x1 stat 0x51 err 0x4 (device error) Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1: EH complete Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1.00: tag 0 cmd 0xb0 Emask 0x1 stat 0x51 err 0x4 (device error) Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1: EH complete Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1.00: tag 0 cmd 0xb0 Emask 0x1 stat 0x51 err 0x4 (device error) Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1: EH complete Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1.00: tag 0 cmd 0xb0 Emask 0x1 stat 0x51 err 0x4 (device error) Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1: EH complete Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1.00: tag 0 cmd 0xb0 Emask 0x1 stat 0x51 err 0x4 (device error) Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 smartd[3057]: smartd version 5.36 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1: EH complete Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 smartd[3057]: Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Feb 23 18:00:45 jonathan64 kernel: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Feb 23 18:00:46 jonathan64 smartd[3057]: Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf Feb 23 18:00:46 jonathan64 kernel: ata1.00: tag 0 cmd 0xb0 Emask 0x1 stat 0x51 err 0x4 (device error) Feb 23 18:00:46 jonathan64 smartd[3057]: Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf parsed. Feb 23 18:00:46 jonathan64 kernel: ata1: EH complete I have not had any issues, so I have just ignored them. The little bit of info out on the web seems to indicate the errors are benign. The first hit on my Google search seems to indicate that it is a problem with the drivers for nForce chipset SATA controllers. I have an nForce4 motherboard (Gigabyte, actually, like several posts on that page) and an SATA II drive. What hardware do you have? Everything points to this being not a real issue, so I would not worry about it. Jonathan
