And I thought your previous messages were referring to ICH6? Every laptop I have access to, whether it's SATA or PATA, fires an ACPI notification when a drive is removed from a bay. The ICH5 case is probably somewhat special-cased, but when we move over to driving PATA with libata it's going to be a lot more useful. If ICH6 can be managed without resorting to ACPI, it's less necessary in the short term, but I think PATA support is going to require it in the end anyway (especially since we probably want to call the _GTM and _STM methods on PATA devices) -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
