It now works in 2.6 (again). Next update will add several host drivers, now that the libata API is settling down. 2.4.21-based patch: ftp://ftp.??.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/patchkits/2.4/2.4.21-libata4.patch.bz2 2.4.21-based BitKeeper repo: bk://kernel.bkbits.net/jgarzik/atascsi-2.4 2.6.0-test1-based patch: ftp://ftp.??.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/patchkits/2.6/2.6.0-test1-libata1.patch.bz2 2.6.0-test1-based BitKeeper repo: bk://kernel.bkbits.net/jgarzik/atascsi-2.5 (yes, "2.5" is not a typo, I haven't changed the name to 2.6 yet) Remove the ".??" if the file has not appeared on your favorite kernel.org mirror yet. Changes: * beginnings of pluggable timing configuration * beginnings of cable detection * much improved ATA device probing * a bunch of internal improvements and cleanups (too many to list) * additional of DocBook documentation * many bug fixes
