Meanwhile we should provide a way for things to work, and realistically the only way to do that currently is to bump the WAIT_DRQ value to some large number. And that's exactly the kind of patch I'm willing to accept for this. -- 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
