Hi Allen,
Do you know if an expected side-effect of this patch would be increased stability? I see that the code does more than just adding in a new UDMA number, I'm just wondering if the other changes could be the deliberate cause of the reliability I'm now seeing.
I have an nforce2 motherboard (Shuttle) with a Maxtor UDMA133 drive. Operations such as dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null would reliably freeze the machine under 2.4.23-pre4 at UDMA100; I had to drop to UDMA44 to overcome this.
Since applying your patch, however, I've managed to run such a dd, with zcav thrown in, with complete relability at UDMA133 for several hours without problems.
