Promise TX4302 support?



I have a Promise TX4302 controller installed in Dell Optiplex GX270
with a Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750 drive connected to the controller
through one of the eSATA ports. Although it appears that the
sata_promise module supports this controller, I'm seeing errors in
log. They look like:

ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310)
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33
ata1: EH complete
SCSI device sda: 1465149168 512-byte hdwr sectors (750156 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00
SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back
ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2
ata1.00: (port_status 0x20200000)

res 51/84:00:ce:09:69/84:00:01:00:00/e0 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error)
ata1: soft resetting port

I am running Centos 5.1 -- uname -a
Linux asterisk 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 #1 SMP Fri Nov 30 00:45:16 EST 2007
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


How can I find out what these errors are and is there some way I can
eliminate them? They appear to be affecting performance because at
times the drive doesn't seem very responsive.

Regards,
Todd
