Emask=0x40 is happening probably because 5744 is blinking the link between reset completion and SCR accesses. Emask=0x1 means that 5744 simply failed the read request. I'm not quite sure what to do about them at this point. I'll ask around. :-( Thanks. -- tejun -- 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
