I am seeing a message in my logs for a disk identified as 'ata12'.

[ 540.600343] ata12: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 310) [ 540.600365] ata12: EH complete [ 540.602844] ata12: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4040000 action 0xe frozen [ 540.602845] ata12: irq_stat 0x80000040, connection status changed [ 540.602847] ata12: SError: { CommWake DevExch } [ 540.602851] ata12: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps [ 540.602852] ata12: hard resetting link

This does not look promising.

Oddly, I do not know which disk this is. I am guessing that the '12' is the same as I see with lsscsi:

[12:0:0:0] disk Generic Ultra HS-SD/MMC 1.82 /dev/sdg

And that one is some USB disk that I am fairly certain is not connected anywhere. All known disks are accounted for.

/dev/sdg is /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Generic_Ultra_HS-SD_MMC_F120C6023A1B-0:0

If I check the USB devices, a likely culprit is:

Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0424:4060 Standard Microsystems Corp. Ultra Fast Media Reader

So I an guessing that on the motherboard there is such a thing. But there is no connection on the outside of the box. I am not using or needing it.

Is there any way to disable a device like this so that it 'goes away'? The messages in the system log appear every second or so. I don't need the clutter... Since when do you have this message? I had suddenly after an update a comreset error. In failsafe mode the system started once. But then it did not start again, Error 32. The funny thing was

And when I looked after ata3 it was my main home (a seagate hdd). And now ata5 was a Asus DVD. I removed ata5 (the dvd) and now I can start normally again. So I am in doubt that the problem is software, not hardware side. Especially because it began after the udev update today. If you have this unexpectedly just today .... I would wait a second, maybe this is not the device having a problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I tried this udev rule, but it made no difference: ACTION=="add", ATTR{idVendor}=="0424", ATTR{idProduct}=="4060", RUN="/bin/sh -c 'echo 0 >/sys/\$devpath/authorized'" -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
