I never see it in 2.6.19*, just 2.6.20. It is some kind of but in the SATA code paths, or at least that's all it appears to affect on my system. What chipset do you have? I have an nforce4 chipset. In another thread, I think they were saying it was either a SATA chipset driver bug, or a problem in libata core. -- shannon | governorrhea: | a contagious disease that spreads from | the governor of a state downward through other | offices and his corporate sponsors - 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/
