Re: Problems with SiL3114 and WDC WD2500SD-01K

  Thanks, I had seen that earlier and was really hoping it wasn't just a
bad card :-)  It and the drive are brand-new.  As an aside, it looks
like the drive may get confused shortly after the initial probe.
Unloading and reloading the driver causes this:

libata version 1.11 loaded.
sata_sil version 0.9

low) -> IRQ 11

ata_device_add: ata1: probe begin
ata1 is slow to respond, please be patient
ata1 failed to respond (30 secs)
ata_device_add: ata1: probe end

  It never responds after the initial load of the module.  I wish I had
a different brand of drive to try and see if that's part of the problem.
Is anybody else using a WD drive?
