Most vendor are -ac based. The IDE changes in Linus tree match the Andre code with my fixes for the Dell cable detect. The -ac tree contains an additional trap for the seagate problem we are chasing but is otherwise the same

The extra trap in the -ac tree may be useful as it should trigger on the seagate problem. If you can pull a box out of service I have a test set from an RH customer with this problem that replicates the UDMA problem remarkably reliably and rapidly for them (but not on serverworks own tests so its not a simple problem). It would be useful to know if the seagate problem is replicable and shows up the same way on your boxen
Info on the precise seagate drives, and pci data on the machines would be very useful too so I can compare it to the other case and also pass it on to serverworks.
