Hi Brad, I came across a WD2500KS-00MJB0, and recalling this thread I gave it a try on my system. It worked fine connected through the PMP on my kernel (2.6.17.4 + libata-tj-2.6.17.4-20060710). This disk is a newer revision, so perhaps bugs were fixed, but it's also possible that you just got unlucky with bad disks. At the very least the entire WD2500 line isn't necessarily bad. -jim - 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
