I belive the BK is an alias for jgarzik, the person who wrote the code for VIA SATA support. The number 14 would be the patch serial number, ie, the 14th patch he wrote for libata support. All his patches can be found at; kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/ On another note if you intend to use the above patch one can only advise you to update your kernel to 2.4.31, its the latest kernel with support for SATA VIA, which the patch above concerns, in other words all jgarzik's work is included in that kernel so no need to patch anything. > Regards > -- Regards Richard. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" 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.linux-learn.org/faqs
