The patch titled ide: fix error handling for drives which clear the FIFO on error has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ide-fix-error-handling-for-drives-which-clear-the-fifo-on-error.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ide: fix error handling for drives which clear the FIFO on error From: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> If the controller FIFO cleared automatically on error we must not try and drain it as this will hang some chips.
