Correct me if I'm wrong guys .. I've tried on several occations, first time the ahci system failed completely, next time it worked with the x86 build, but not on the x64 build if the system had more than 4Gb ram. Current kernel builds work out pretty stable, untill you plug 2 drives. Concurrent writes will lock up the controller and bye bye filesystem. I'm not enough of a kernelhacker to figure out the root cause, so all I've been able to do is test. -- 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
