Dear Sir, Thanks for your information. If have any question please kindly let me know.

The new express card performs flawlessly, I can cold boot / warm boot to Linux or windows without receiving any error message, and after several days of testing external disks I can honestly say that everything went without a hitch. So, I would be happy if the bug report was closed with reason being due to faulty hardware. regards Orson On 16/12/11 04:55, Show lu wrote: > Dear Sirs, > Good day, > I am JMicron/Show and take over JMB36X FAE activity > Please help to shows the PCIE CFG registers(of JMB36X) at first. > > > Thanks > Sincerely > Show > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Steven Chen [mailto:stevenchen@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Friday, December 16, 2011 10:52 AM > To: 'Jonathan Nieder'; linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; 'Show lu' > Cc: 'Tejun Heo'; 'Orson'; 'Aries Lee' > Subject: RE: JMicron Technology JMB362 JMB363 SError: { DevExch } > ExpressCard, sometimes fails to boot > > Add Show in this mail loop. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathan Nieder [mailto:jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2011 6:45 AM > To: linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: 'Tejun Heo'; 'Orson'; Aries Lee > Subject: Re: JMicron Technology JMB362 JMB363 SError: { DevExch } > ExpressCard, sometimes fails to boot > > (Aries: sorry for the duplicate message) > Hi, > > Aries Lee wrote: > >> Is it possible to install windows OS on the same hardware, >> If it still get the same error, that we can conclude it as a hardware > issue. > > Orson wrote: > >> I installed WinXP SP3 as a dual boot option onto my HP NX6325. >> I booted into windows and my dual port express card was found immediately, > I >> installed the latest driver from J Micron and everything seemed to be OK. >> I looked through the winxp system messages and all was OK, I looked > through >> device manager and it said everything was OK, all resources were OK. >> I attached an external esata drive and it was detected instantly and was >> available in my list of drives, I copied some files over, all went OK, I > ran >> scandisk to check the drive and all went OK, the drive did not seem to >> re-attach itself or give any errors.
