I knew that it was, erm, brave to use it at some time (this box isn't really important - if I kill its filesystems, I'll simply re-install and recover my mirror scripts:) , but new, where 2.5.x starts to be really useable, I'd suggest to face users with upcoming problems: CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO It is safe to say Y to this question, in most cases. (By the way, exactly which cases are ment?) CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_TCQ If you have such a drive, say Y here. CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_TCQ_DEFAULT Generally say Y here. CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_TCQ_DEPTH You probably just want the default of 32 here. (Default queue depth is 8, not 32...) Right now, I'm building 2.5.73-bk3 + your 2nd patch.
