So I really don't agree with your "one report, from one user, with one configuration, on one controller, using one firmware set" statement, Alan. I think that the particular laptop model I have (Sony Vaio VGN-NS11S) has sold in large numbers only recently. So if you decide to do nothing there will likely be more reports soon. If you wait for that to happen a good share of the users encountering the problem will (unjustly) blame it on Linux and just turn back to using preinstalled Vista (where the drive works). I've already thought myself that it was perhaps unwise to run Linux on a newly bought computer (where issues like this have not been fixed yet). >That said, Moritz, can you please post the output of "hdparm -I" with >and without the quirk applied? unpatched: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/36819 patched: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/36840 >And can you please use a preoper mail >address?
