..
When I hit the existing EH, the system locks up.
When I remove the ata_std_softreset from that line,
it no longer locks up.
It still does have other issues, though, so you could drop
that patch for now, and I'll reissue it when I get round to
fixing that particularly horribly broken part of the driver later.
Cheers
