Keep in mind that YMMV. The bug id is the one I submitted - I used this 'hacked' ata driver on my laptop for quite some time and must say it worked ok (no data loss, etc.). However it stopped to working somewhere around b35 I belive (couldn't load a module due to unresolved symbols) - it wasn't a big deal for me anymore 'coz I got a new notebook and with this one ata driver works ok out of the box. So do you offer new recompiled version or the old binary since it might not work anymore... -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
