For me it isnt a problem, This error message will disappear for me anyway, since I am going to re-add the drive now, like I said yesterday, I am re-adding stuff one by one, to isolate problems. I can just imagine that switching a jumper might not be as easy for everybody, especialy when they bought special front-loading harddisk bays for their disks and all, for the very reason of not having to open the case. > Yeah, that's a better point.

It's not like it is causing any problems, nothing hangs or slows down at boot time, its just something I came across when checking my dmesg and wanted to inform the list so I could see if this was normal behaviour or not :) Patrick - 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/
