This is one of the three problems that have been lingering for years - the other two being pata_ali ATAPI DMA problem and sata_sil data corruption problem. I'll be ecstatic if this fix works. Just one thing, I don't think we'll need a warning message there. It's useful during development but it doesn't really provide any useful information afterwards. Digging up the mailing list and cc'ing people who have reported this problem. If you still have the affected systems, can you guys please test the patch in the following message and see whether it fixes the problem? http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/939112/raw Thanks a lot. :-) -- 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
