Been there done that, all on this list actually. Bios upgrade, bios

now the drive and cable ahave found their home in my other PC, a kt600
board using the sata_via driver, where it works flawlessly. I'm not
even interested in using the sata interface on this machine anymore, but
I still try to make an effort whenever possible to contribute byt
reporting bugs. So many people with so many different hardware
combinations, sometimes it takes the right combination of
hardware/software to reveal a bug. That being said, if you want to
investigate further, I can provide any information you want. If you want
to ignore it, thats fine too. Evidence strongly leans towards a driver
bug though.

I also noticed that I get oops now sometimes even with no drive
attatched at all

What is a blacklist entry? A combination of drive/controller that is
determined to be incompatable together? I would assume for a drive to
make it to a blacklists it would have to be incompatable regardless of
OS right? The drive in question is a WD2000JD
