FWIW, I'm happily using it with a -ac kernel. It needs some small changes in the base ide-disk code to handle drives having only a logical geometry (legal but Linux can't cope). Most if not all the other hooks are there to an extent the driver for the it821x can work without core code changes. It might be cleaner with core changes but it's better that the it821x code handles the weirdness of the hardware. Longer term it (and probably every other IDE PATA driver) should be moved to the Jeff Garzik SATA layer. That's also Bart's position I believe ? - 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/

There's actually a successor patch to that which I'm just about to get feedback on here and on ext2-devel. It's higher-risk than the one Alan has already picked up, but also hopefully closes the race much more tightly throughout the whole of the jbd layer. --Stephen - 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/
