It seems that the promise controller has some problems when connected to certain 3Gbps drives (IIRC newer Seagate ones). It's most likely a hardware problem and we might need to default to 1.5 Gbps on such combinations, but even without such modifications, libata EH should do the right thing. -- 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
