If I  have the possibility I'll do it. But those PCI errors only once per boot.
When it's running I don't get any of these errors. That seems to indicate that the
driver has adapted its working to the controller, and that it's doing fine afterwards.
I've looked at older logs and those messages appeared at a boot of 3 december, also followed by this:

Dec  3 10:18:19 dotnet kernel: Starting XFS recovery on filesystem: sd(8,38) (dev: 8/38)
Dec  3 10:18:19 dotnet kernel: Ending XFS recovery on filesystem: sd(8,38) (dev: 8/38)

What's the exact meaning of these messages? Does it mean the partition was not cleanly unmounted?
If the partition is not cleanly unmounted at each boot, could it result in a partition error like I had?

Once the problem occured with the 2.4.26, it also accured when booting in 2.4.20

Thanks.
