Now please do exactly this (and I mean EXACTLY): 1. shut down and completely power off the system. 2. boot up again, and immediately do "hdparm --Istdout /dev/sdb and post the results here.

IOW, use "reply to all". -- 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
