Update 2 Looks like this issue only appears in newer kernels...

I tried with Ubuntu Live CD 12.04, 13.10, and 14.04: I was able to see this issue in 14.04 but not in other 2 versions.

I then run diff for the kernel config files but I can't figure out the exact change that affects me...

Ubuntu 13.10 kernel config file

Ubuntu 14.04 kernel config file

Update 1

I run SysLinux on my machine and below is the output of the same command (no failure messages):

root@sysresccd /root % dmesg | grep ata3

I compared SATA power profiles on both OSes under /sys/class/scsi_host/host(0-7) and they set to max_performance.

What else can I check on both OSes and configure Arch so that this failure message would go away?

While investigating the issue with my SATA3 SSD drive being recognized as SATA2 (for some reason had to change SATA ports to fix it) I noticed the following messages when I run dmesg | grep ata3.00:

uname

My concern is the line where it says that system failed to get NCQ Send/Recv Log Emask 0x1

Is this something I need to be concern with?
