I get no output of the crash on netconsole. Would it help if I get the output of the crash (if any)? In that case I'll connect a screen and see what it produces. I'll test 2.6.16-rc6-mm2 with your patches now. I'll also try 2.6.16-rc6-mm1 to see if it is fixed between -rc6 and -rc6-mm1, or between -rc6-mm1 and -rc6-mm2. As soon as 2.6.16-mm1 comes out, I'll check to see if sata_mv still works for me. Whatever fixes it should stay in :-) Sander -- Humilis IT Services and Solutions http://www.humilis.net - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
