Hi all, 2.6.23.9 I have noticed after applying Bart's patch to word93 blacklist my new DVD drive: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/23/475 I see now in logs (look at the hdd line: [dmesg] hdc: 39876480 sectors (20416 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=39560/16/63, UDMA(66) hdc: cache flushes not supported hdc: hdc1 hdd: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache<7>hdd: skipping word 93 validity check , UDMA(66) Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 <7> ?? And the ", UDMA(66)" gets new lined, so in syslog it appears all by itself: [/var/log/syslog] Nov 29 19:22:00 linuxamd kernel: hda: Maxtor 6Y080L0, ATA DISK drive Nov 29 19:22:00 linuxamd kernel: hdb: Maxtor 51536H2, ATA DISK drive Nov 29 19:22:00 linuxamd kernel: ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 Nov 29 19:22:00 linuxamd kernel: hdc: Maxtor 52049H3, ATA DISK drive Nov 29 19:22:00 linuxamd kernel: hdd: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S202J, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Nov 29 19:22:00 linuxamd kernel: ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 Nov 29 19:22:00 linuxamd kernel: , UDMA(66) I have tried to trace this, but cannot see anywhere printk does this.
