So I really don't agree with your "one report, from one use= r, with one configuration, on one controller, using one firmware set" s= tatement, Alan. I think that the particular laptop model I have (Sony Vaio VGN-NS11S) h= as sold in large numbers only recently. So if you decide to do nothing = there will likely be more reports soon. If you wait for that to happen = a good share of the users encountering the problem will (unjustly) blam= e it on Linux and just turn back to using preinstalled Vista (where the= drive works). I've already thought myself that it was perhaps unwise t= o run Linux on a newly bought computer (where issues like this have not= been fixed yet). >That said, Moritz, can you please post the output of "hdparm -I" with >and without the quirk applied? =20 unpatched: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/36819 patched: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/36840 >And can you please use a preoper mail >address?
