Dear Mr Garzik, Thanks so much for all the time(unpaid?) you've put in developing drivers My problems specifically concerns a Promise ESATA 300 TX2plus which is bundled with the Seagate 300GB eSATA drive -easily available via CompUSA and major reatailers. (If Seagate doesn't hire you - they are crazy!) I'm running CentOS4.4 with latest kernel updates currently 2.6.9-42.0.10EL I've seen other people with same timeout problems but after compiling the latest kernel 2.6.20.7, I get no more errors, so I know you've been busy fixing it -but also get other errors (not concerning the drive or you're fixes) Problem is how to I apply whatever fixes you've made to the latest CentOS4.4 2.6.9-42.0.10 kernel since I can't run my custom 2.6.20.7 kernel yet 1) Will CentOS(RedHat - equiv) be upgrading their kernel to include you're fixes in the current 2.6.9-x kernel? 2)Can you give me a link or howto on using the latest CentOS 4.4 kernel but also adding whatever fixes you've made Thanks, Al Smith - 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
