Can somebody please point me to the latest patches? ATA pass thru should be a good thing to play with I am waiting for SATA ATAPI support so that finally i can start playing DVDs again under linux. I have ICH6M chipset with DVD/CD-RW drive on my laptop. So if you need some testing on that i am willing to do that. Currently i am running on 2.6.11 with JG's "2.6.11-libata-dev1.patch.bz2 " patch and ATAPI tunred on in libata.h, but apparently it still is not in working condition, are there experimental patches which have atleast half working ATAPI in libata? Or should i just wait for some more time ?..... Thanks and reagards, BAIN
