I have six Western Digital WD2500JD-00GBB0. Tried two both direct and PMP, no success. Went and bought a new Segate ST3500630AS 500GB and it hotplugged both direct and PMP without problems. So I guess the old WD2500JD-00GBB0 aren't compatible? - Brad - 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
