Since I am unsure about the etiquette of posting attachments to this list I have put copies of hdparm --Istdout /dev/hde and dmesg output from both kernel 2.6.27.2 and 2.6.29.4 in http://www.os2warp.org/sysbench/netcell.tar.gz Both kernels are self-compiled but based on the original Centos 5.3 .config file. The 2.6.29.4 is created by copying the 2.6.27.2 .config and then running `make oldconfig` and taking all defaults for those items that are new. -- Trevor Hemsley, Brighton, UK Trevor dot Hemsley at ntlworld dot com -- 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
