Does anyone know when this bug was added? 2.6.19 is too old for my needs, but the range 2.6.24 to 2.6.26 might be OK if they had taskfiles working. Maybe I should look for a Slax version that had a kernel from 2.6.24 or so, since I can probably customize it in a single day by now. But if the bug was already present in 2.6.24 then it would be a waste of time.
.. Heh.. the question could be more like, does anyone know which few kernels that HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE ever worked completely on? :) I know I have to patch drivers/ide rather heavily to get a working, reliable HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE on it. Much better is to move to libata, and use ATA_16 with SG_IO, for a standard, working way of doing this kind of stuff.
