Please don't drop cc's etc. Just use reply-to-all. For John: this means that you need to load libata with this option: atapi_enabled=1 So if you build it into the kernel image, add this to the boot option: libata.atapi_enabled=1 or if you load it as a module, just add: atapi_enabled=1 or you can edit the source file and change the variable to 1, but that's the least preferable way IMO. --- ~Randy - : 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
