Device mount and read access seem to be slower than with the IDE driver. But given how little I use the CD-ROM drive this initial impression may not accurately describe reality. Here's relevant dmesg entries from the patched kernel: scsi0 : ata_piix scsi1 : ata_piix ata1: PATA max UDMA/33 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 bmdma 0xf000 irq 14 ata2: PATA max UDMA/33 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0xf008 irq 15 ata1: port disabled. ignoring. ata2.00: ATAPI: Pioneer CD-ROM ATAPI Model DR-A24X 0102, E1.02, max MWDMA2 ata2.00: SETXFER failed w/ 100 ata2.00: configured for MWDMA2 scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM PIONEER CD-ROM DR-A01S 1.02 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 20x/20x xa/form2 cdda tray Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 Thanks. -- Stan -- 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
