Isn't "Cannot perform double-word IO" in contradiction with the following statements? IO_support = 1 (32-bit) Buffer size: 1.0kB bytes avail on r/w long: 4 (Assuming an 8-bit byte, 4 bytes = 32 bits) > The messages with old IDE should be harmless and the current libata IDE > should drive it politely (I debugged a problem the same hardware showed > up for someone else). When you say "the current libata IDE" do you mean PATA_VIA (in my case)? I've avoided this driver because it is marked EXPERIMENTAL. Would there be any benefit in using it over the legacy ATA/MFM/RLL driver? > Basically your dinosaur is working correctly. What do the warnings mean? :-) Regards.
