First I'd like to come out and say, as having the BTS as a store for a list of unimplemented features greatly diminishes the useful ness of the BTS as a tool to track what the debian kernel team is working on with regards to the kernel. But thats just my opinion, and the BTS is already has so many bugs its of little use, so one more isn't going to make any difference. I'm thinging that if the use of the BTS is really to allow users to track all problems in a package, its probably useful to have a separate, but linked BTS, that allows the maintainers to track what they are actually working on. Ok, enough about that. In answer to your question about the status of support for SATA ATAPI (which I guess is the problem) is being handled by the upstream SATA maintainers, the toplevel MAINTAINERS file in the kernel tree lists them as: SERIAL ATA (SATA) SUBSYSTEM: P: Jeff Garzik M: [EMAIL PROTECTED] L: linux-ide@vger.kernel.org S: Supported I sent Jeff a mail about this recently, in which he explained that SATA ATAPI was not ready, and it would be enabled when it is. However he did not provide any additional details. I'd suggest the archives of the linux-ide list as a starting point. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
