Hi!

I am wondering why VT6421 PATA support is still on the todo list in  
sata_via.c although patches have been posted that makes it work?

I am currently looking at 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6. I had hoped that the  
support would be added in that kernel, but unfortunately it seems to  
have been left out. Why is this? Have you been notified about any  
stability issues?

I am now running a manually patched 2.6.19-1.2895, but i would of  
course prefer to have this functionality in the stock kernel.

The patch i am currently using is this one:
