Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 17:56:08 -0800 From: Grant Grundler Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Andre, Alan, My grand total experience with IDE drivers is now around 4 hours. I have no clue what's right or wrong and am quite clueless what the role of apmd is wrt ide-disk driver. I'm open to testing other fixes for this problem. AFAIK, this could be a BIOS bug since no one else seems to have run into on other laptops and it's reproduce with two different makes of drives. The reason I put the fix in the read/multwrite_intr path is the recovery has to occur before the I/O is retried and before accessing the disk. If multmode can be set before even trying the I/O, then that's definitely a better solution. I just have no clue how to implement it. thanks, grant Grant Grundler Unix Systems Enablement Lab +1.408.447.7253 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
