I'm confused, and I think something else must be going on... to have 2 different drives, with two completely different ASICs in them (and therefore significantly different object code), have identical corruption of the same 6 bytes of their configuration block is just not likely. I'm pretty sure they don't even have the same utility zone layout. Is that how the drive IDs when connected via other controllers, in another system, etc? hrm... eric - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
