Yes I want to learn.

I figure I can learn fastest by helping.

Sorry as yet I understand very little of the above.

Until corrected I will guess I should next:

1) Find a spare PATA UDMA HDD, with UDMA mode above 2 to suit the SATA/
PATA bridge.

2) Connect Linux to SATA/ PATA to PATA UDMA HDD.

3) Turn ATA_DEBUG ATA_VERBOSE_DEBUG on in 2.6.6-bk1.

4) Report back here for next assignment.
