2001-12-26 Thread Shaun Amy, CSIRO TIP/ATNF
Hi, Season's greetings to everyone from a rather warm Sydney, Australia! This evening, I installed a new Promise UltraATA 100 TX2 controller which is correctly recognised at boot time. To this controller I connected a new IBN 60 GB disk (Model: IC35L060AVER07-0). This disk is found and recogni

I am trying to determine if our ATA/VIA setup code may have issues. I did a google search and came up with a linux-quirks patch which may apply to the random corruption problems people have been reporting. Here is the URL: http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.4/patch/patch-2.4.8
