Hi.
I've run into a problem with the lastest kernel (2.6.22.1) and a drive set
to spinup on set_features.
hdparm reports:
/dev/sdf:
ATA device, with non-removable media
powers-up in standby; SET FEATURES subcmd spins-up.
Model Number: WDC WD3200JS-57PDB0
Serial Number: X
Firmware Revision: 21.00M21
...
Commands/features:
Enabled Supported:
* Power-Up In Standby feature set
* SET_FEATURES required to spinup after power up
...
I get the following messages when booting:

The interesting thing is that after displaying that, the drive has in fact
spun up. I'm not sure why it's getting an error returned, but chaning the
err_mask line to read "if (err_mask && err_mask != 0x01)" corrects the
problem and the drive spins up and ID's normally:
ata6: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
ata6.00: ATA-7: WDC WD3200JS-57PDB0, 21.00M21, max UDMA/133
ata6.00: 625142448 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 1)
ata6.00: configured for UDMA/133
If you'd like me to do any more testing or need more information from me
please let me know.
Thank you.
