Hi Tejun: Thank you for your help. I included your patch in the FC5 latest kernel update and it works very well. I'm just finishing the RAID-5 reconstruction of 3x750GB disks, so they are all visible and working stable. If anybody is interested, this is the method I used: - Kernel 2.6.18-1.2200_FC5 is actually 2.6.18.1 with a number of paches added by the Fedora team. - The RPM builds the kernel from 2.6.18, then applies the patch to move to 2.6.18.1, and then the Fedora patches. - I applied your patch just after the 2.6.18.1 patch and then slightly modified the spec file to skip a couple of patches that conflicts with yours. If anybody wants a more detailed procedure I will be happy to provide it. Thank you Tejun! Carlos On 10/24/06, Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Does it actually contain PMP support? The behavior you're describing matches libata's behavior w/o PMP support. Please give a shot at vanilla 2.6.18.1 + libata-tj-2.6.18.1-20061020. The patch is available in the following page. http://home-tj.org/wiki/index.php/Libata-tj-stable Also, please cc linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx next time so that other people can answer and the thread can be searched later. -- tejun
