JMB controllers use the same PCI ID for AHCI and SFF parts and causes some distribution initrd's fail to load proper module for it. 2.6.21 will match PCI class instead of PCI function number which should be much easier on those inird's. So, not really a kernel bug. Please report it to maintainers of your distribution. -- 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
