Subject: [PATCH #upstream-fixes] sata_nv: ck804 has borked hardreset too
Date: Sun, 01 Feb 2009 10:56:31 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4985014F.7070607@kernel.org> (raw)

While playing with nvraid, I found out that rmmoding and insmoding
often trigger hardreset failure on the first port (the second one was
always okay).  Seriously, how diverse can you get with hardreset
behaviors?  Anyways, make ck804 use noclassify variant too.

Robert, ISTR that a user was reporting probing problem on ck804, I
think the user could have been seeing this.  The behavior on my
motherboard is very curious.  The problem is always with the first
port.  If booted from cdrom, it always fails.  If booted from
harddrive, the initial probing works fine but from the second time on,
it fails.  Argh...
