OK, I fixed my backup system and I feel a bit more relaxed now, so I did a quick test. I borrowed the Sil 3512-based card again and ran it with Knoppix and also with the SUSE 2.6.37 kernel. Neither of them indicated any errors with the drive so I suppose that some change between 2.6.32 and 2.6.37 has already fixed whatever my problem was with that controller. One less thing to worry about. I haven't got around to doing any of the other things I mentioned yet :( Cheers, Dave -- 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
