The IDE driver complains about an 80-wire cable detection failure and falls back to UDMA/33 for the old IBM-DJNA-371350 Rev. J7NOA30K HD even though it is an UDMA/66 HD. Kernel Message: "hdb: host max PIO5 wanted PIO255(auto-tune) selected PIO4 hdb: drive side 80-wire cable detection failed, limiting max speed to UDMA33 hdb: UDMA/33 mode selected" This patch disables the word 93 validity check in /drivers/ide/ide-iops.c for this particular hardware by adding it to the buggy firmware ivb_list. diff --git a/drivers/ide/ide-iops.c b/drivers/ide/ide-iops.c index 6cc6c83..6d6f78f 100644 --- a/drivers/ide/ide-iops.c +++ b/drivers/ide/ide-iops.c @@ -218,6 +218,7 @@ static const struct drive_list_entry ivb_list[] = { { "TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S202H" , "SB00" }, { "TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S202H" , "SB01" }, { "SAMSUNG SP0822N" , "WA100-10" }, + { "IBM-DJNA-371350" , "J7NOA30K" }, { NULL , NULL } }; ____________________________________________________________ Best Weight Loss Program - Click Here! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2131/fc/BLSrjnsEGrFwnIvIOVxbEtcxl1mbToJZIUdYtrSAhgUZhuqeEORJOOJ5xRW/ -- 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
