I didn't apply the blacklist patch yet. The system booted fine, no complaints in the boot messages Performance is good and the drive appears quite stable so far. I'm going to beat on it a bit more over the next couple of days. If there is a particular test that would be of interest, please let me know. I'm planning to do large reads and writes with dd and a couple of runs with bonnie. This might explain why some people are running Seagate drives with sata_sil with no apparent problems. --john
