And to confirm that, applying the following patch to sata_mv for 2.6.26.3 makes the HDD led work again as well: --- a/drivers/ata/sata_mv.c +++ b/drivers/ata/sata_mv.c @@ -131,7 +131,7 @@ enum { MV_GENIIE_FLAGS = MV_COMMON_FLAGS | MV_6XXX_FLAGS | ATA_FLAG_PMP | ATA_FLAG_ACPI_SATA | - ATA_FLAG_NCQ | ATA_FLAG_AN, + ATA_FLAG_AN, CRQB_FLAG_READ = (1 << 0), CRQB_TAG_SHIFT = 1, So somehow enabling NCQ is at the root of the issue.
