Upstream has Alan's fix for the worst PATA problems, but for different reasons, I think PATA ACPI and SATA ACPI support in libata does not feel quite ready for prime time in 2.6.21. Scream now, or hold your peace until 2.6.22... :) Jeff - 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/ | ||||||||||
