I have generic question about HPA, not the patch.
I have noticed with a SUSE 2.6.8 vendor kernel, the HPA behavior is
not consistent.
ie. With exactly the same computer/controller, but with different disk
drives (models/manufacturers) the HPA behavior varies.
In all my testing the HPA was always properly detected, but sometimes
the max_address is set to the native_max_address during bootup and
sometimes it is not.
Is there some reason for this behavior or is one case or the other a bug?
Does this patch somehow address the inconsistency?
Am I right in assuming this behavior also exists in the vanilla
kernels?. ie. I doubt that vendors are patching this behavior.
Thanks
Greg
