However, I don't see how the sata_promise changes from 2.6.22 to 2.6.23 can explain this. The only functional changes there are a critical fix for FastTrack TX4200 (not your card), and support for SATA hotplugging (not happening here). So I'm suspecting something in libata core might have changed to fix this. Just to make sure, what's the numerical PCI IDs for your card? (No big deal, but I'd like to know what the error was.) /Mikael - 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
