We could always eliminate lba48 max-sectors increase on VIA controllers...
Has Brad tried it with native SATA drives instead of bridges? Could be VIA controllers incompatible with PATA->SATA bridges.....
Oh wait. That's a damned good point.
I wonder if there is a problem with LBA48 large transfers (>256 sectors) and bridges. Is Brad definitely using a bridge? I may have missed that detail in a flurry of emails :)
Yep.. using a bridge! How to detect the bridge though?
It's not terribly easy :/
If you can google for the datasheet, that would be helpful.
Sometimes bridges will modify the underlying 40-char ATA model name,
WD123456 ADDONICS68
where "WD123456" is the underlying ATA device, and "ADDONICS68" is the bridge identifier.
