I redid this patch with proper dmi_get_date() implementation. Your code was fine but the custom parsing looked a tad bit too out-of-place. :-( http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/42360 It would be great if you can find out whether more recent BIOSen don't have the issue. It would be best if you can find exactly which BIOS revision fixes the problem by stepping through each update but if you don't have the time then just testing the latest one should do for the time being. Thanks. -- tejun
