The merge window is closed. This is a 2.6.31 discussion and randomly adding bogus printks to the kernel won't help because - Users have no idea what they mean - Distros boot with "quiet" so users don't see them anyway It would be good to get Tejun's patch upstream and also runtime HPA switching. > IOW Please stop downplaying bug #13365 which this patch tries to alleviate. I'm still not convinced 13365 is an HPA problem entirely - but there are certainly other HPA confusions here and there. > I'm adding Andrew to cc:...
