Thanks for asking these precise questions. After double-checking everything I found a typo in my configuration that changes things a bit. I repeated some tests and the correct answers are now: * 2.6.10 vanilla works * 2.6.10-ac8 works * 2.6.10-ac11 does not work * 2.6.11 vanilla does not work * 2.6.11 w/o promise.patch does not work * 2.6.11 + 2.6.10 libata works! This looks much more consistent to me but brings the case back to libata. -jo -- -rw-r--r-- 1 jo users 63 2005-03-04 22:48 /home/jo/.signature
