This problem has happened just once in the couple of weeks I've used that machine, and I wasn't even doing anything strange when it triggered (no heavy IO, no special programs, no nothing - I was literally just reading email and I think trying to browse over to news.com or something..) So I was more hoping that you'd say that it's a known issue, and already fixed, or that the status bits would give you some clue and make you say "Ahh, we don't handle that case". I have nothing to "test". The thing seems to work, and I have no known way to trigger the problem... > I'm pretty sure this is already fixed, by the polling IDENTIFY for ata_piix > patchset. Hmm. That sounds like it should just affect the bootup identification, which has always worked fine for me. Would it fix the softreset too? Anyway, I can certainly try yout current "upstream" branch, but as mentioned, the standard kernel works fine for me generally, so I don't really know what I can offer (except if "upstream" simply doesn't work at all, in which case I'll certainly let you know ;) Linus - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
