I believe they were going to try the drive with an Intel controller to see if it worked there. It would be useful if we could get other success/failure reports with either the particular drive, WDC WD800ADFS-75SLR2 (or at least other WD Raptor ADFS-series) on other AHCI controllers, or other drives which have AA support on the MCP7A chipset. One of the two needs blacklisting for AA support. I'm leaning towards the controller since other WD drives with AA support work fine on Intel AHCI. -- 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/
