Yeap, I'm aware of the problem. That's why the driver is marked HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. Maybe I should change it to broken. :-( Anyways, one of the known problems is mishandling of LBA48 commands which is cause of timeouts and wrong md5sums on large disks. I just couldn't find any time to work on it in recent weeks. Please be patient a bit. I'll get back to sata_ini162x in a few days. -- tejun - 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
