Hello, I switched to libata drivers for my onboard PATA controller (PIIX4) recently. Everything works fine except that kernel tries to start not only my hard drive (sda) but also LS-120 floppy drive (sdb) which does not like it: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Starting disk ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 58633344 512-byte hardware sectors (30020 MB) sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] Starting disk ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33 ata2.01: configured for PIO2 sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08 sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x2 [current] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] ASC=0x3a ASCQ=0x0 The question is: is it correct? Or a patch like this should be applied? --- linux-2.6.23-orig/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c 2007-10-09 22:31:38.000000000 +0200 +++ linux-2.6.23-pentium/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c 2008-01-05 15:50:16.000000000 +0100 @@ -802,7 +802,8 @@ blk_queue_max_phys_segments(sdev->request_queue, LIBATA_MAX_PRD); - sdev->manage_start_stop = 1; + if (dev->class == ATA_DEV_ATA) + sdev->manage_start_stop = 1; if (dev) ata_scsi_dev_config(sdev, dev); -- Ondrej Zary - 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
