ide: failed opcode was: 0xea

[Christian Kujau]

Hi,

during the last days the following messages showed up in my logs:

hdc: task_no_data_intr: status=0xd0 { Busy }
ide: failed opcode was: 0xea

It's often hdc, sometimes hdd and I have to admit that at least hdd
is pretty "warm":

/dev/hdc: SAMSUNG HD400LD: 40ÂC
/dev/hdd: ST3160023A: 48ÂC

That being said, the disks are working OK and have been on that 
temperature for some time now. The regular SMART checks report no errors 
either.

The errors showed up in the past a few times but now with 2.6.25 (and 
early -rc) they seem to appear more often. From /var/log/messages:

      5 Aug 19 failed opcode was: 0xea           (2007)
      4 Mar 10 failed opcode was: 0xea           (2008)
      2 Mar 11 failed opcode was: 0xea
      7 Mar 12 failed opcode was: 0xea
      3 Apr 17 ide: failed opcode was: 0xea
     11 Apr 21 ide: failed opcode was: 0xea
      1 Apr 23 ide: failed opcode was: 0xea

Q: What do these messages mean? Should I be worried?

Thanks,
Christian.
