Tejun, I've been using the new driver to boot my second machine for about 2 weeks, now, as well as having another 200GB disk hanging off it; all without any problems. Well done!

Anyway, if I've got it right, here is my suggested change. --- linux-2.6.27-rc5.a/drivers/ata/sata_inic162x.c 2008-08-28 18:52:02.000000000 -0400 +++ linux-2.6.27-rc5.b/drivers/ata/sata_inic162x.c 2008-09-01 14:05:24.000000000 -0400 @@ -96,6 +96,7 @@ PORT_SCR = 0x20, /* HOST_CTL bits */ + HCTL_LEDEN = (1 << 3), /* enable LED operation */ HCTL_IRQOFF = (1 << 8), /* global IRQ off */ HCTL_FTHD0 = (1 << 10), /* fifo threshold 0 */ HCTL_FTHD1 = (1 << 11), /* fifo threshold 1*/ @@ -540,7 +541,7 @@ void __iomem *port_base = inic_port_base(ap); /* fire up the ADMA engine */ - writew(HCTL_FTHD0, port_base + HOST_CTL); + writew(HCTL_FTHD0 + HCTL_LEDEN, port_base + HOST_CTL); writew(IDMA_CTL_GO, port_base + PORT_IDMA_CTL); writeb(0, port_base + PORT_CPB_PTQFIFO); -- 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
