I assume this is still the broken-barriers bug. Thanks for all the help on
this, guys. More is to be asked for, I'm afraid.

I've prepared a tree which is basically 2.6.17-mm5, only the git-scsi-misc
and git-libata-all trees have been omitted. It's at

http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/2.6.17-mm5-no-sata-scsi.bz2

(That's a diff against 2.6.17)

If that kernel works, then the next step is to test

http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/2.6.17-mm5-no-scsi.bz2

which is 2.6.17-mm5 without git-scsi-misc, but with git-libata-all.

Thanks.
