Hey Andrew, As suggested by Randy Dunlap on the linux-ide mailing list (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=115082279504424&w=2), I send you this patch Bruno Harbulot did on a previous 'really crappy' patch I did. We've been testing it for a while, it works fine so we'd like to see it intergrated in your tree and maybe upstream later. This patch allow the sata port of the ATIIXP chipset to work at 55MB/sec instead of 14. Regards, Erwan
