So we may as well ensure Linux does the Right Things (tm). Yes, my point was in support of pragmatism; so that new kernel builds and distro installs can have a chance to succeed in boxes with these cards used, without opening case, reconfiguring, and finding special boot paramters. Those cards need working code now, not next year. So "The Right Thing (tm)" would be bad, if it caused perfectly capable kit to be non-functioning, whilst perfection is under discussion and development. > Nice work, Tejun! Seconded! If you are the Mark who sent the card, thanks to you to from me to. -- 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
