Sorry, but I'm not able to give you more information. I tried again several times with PATA and never saw the oops again, so I don't think trying libata would help since not seeing an oops wouldn't mean anything at all. Unless there is a _specific_ way to trigger this bug ("cause much disk IO" isn't enough because it only led to an oops once out of maybe something like 30-40 tries) I cannot do anything. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
