Likely the only way nForce4 NCQ support could be added under Linux would be with a closed source binary driver, and no one really wants that, especially for storage / boot volume. We decided it wasn't worth the headache of a binary driver for this one feature. Future nForce chipsets will have a redesigned SATA controller where we can be more open about documenting it. -Allen - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
