Trolling your dmesg (http://web.hexapodia.org/~adi/sysinfo/1240274989_cvpe4300_2.6.30-rc2-00446-ga939b96/dmesg.out) I see [ 2.184016] ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) [ 2.198709] ata2.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorp DVD+/-RW TS-U633A, D200, max UDMA/100, ATAPI AN [ 2.198774] ata2.00: applying bridge limits [ 2.214107] ata2.00: configured for UDMA/100 [ 2.230305] scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-U633A D200 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 2.548015] ata5: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) [ 2.884014] ata6: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) so I guess that it's serial ATA, at least. But which lower-level ata driver is being used under that?

Probably this is all perfectly obvious to the initiated, but for those whose life revolves around telling the initiated about their bugs, this is all unreasonably hard :( Oh well, let's tentatively assume that we have a post-2.6.29 regression in the libata ahci driver. -- 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
