This has some positive upsides: - The patches seem cleaner - The patches seem more multi-purpose and adaptable for use across all controllers, not just the Promise ones. - Jeff is more likely to accept them since most of his suggestions have been factored in. There is also a downside: - The patches haven't been tested at ALL since I don't have any hardware until September. So, try at your own risk. Everything seems sane to me, however it is 3:00 AM here. Jeff, these patches are designed against 2.6.13-rc3-mm1. As a result, they are meant to apply overtop of the sata_promise 'support PATA port' patch. Please apply and try. And send me comments about how the patches are broken in weird scenarios. Luke Kosewski
