Ok. For 2.6.23 there is one patch: <http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/patches/sata_promise/patch-sata_promise-1-asic-sg-bug-fix-v3-2.6.23> This is the workaround for the ASIC PRD/SG bug. For 2.6.22 there are two patches: <http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/patches/sata_promise/patch-sata_promise-1-ft_tx4200-is-gen2-2.6.22> This corrects the classification of FastTrack TX4200 cards, which in turn fixes nasty errors in how they are accessed. <http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/patches/sata_promise/patch-sata_promise-2-asic-sg-bug-fix-v3-2.6.22> This is the workaround for the ASIC PRD/SG bug. /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
