Which means this error? failed to enable AA

Hi!

When my computer starts this error is displayed on the screen:

[    2.950793] ata3.00: failed to enable AA(error_mask=0x1)

What does it mean and how I can solve it?

A lot of thanks.

Try checking your logs for additional (harddisk related) errors/warnings.

Re: Which means this error? failed to enable AA

I have been researching and error can be caused by two small hard disk partitions.
Proves it soon!
