Hm. I tried adding it in the eh code after ata_set_mode() in ata_eh_recover(), which alters the problem slightly - hpa_sectors is still 0, so the taskfile call is still failing, but now the system just stops at around the time that anything attempts to access sda with no errors other than sd: 2:0:1:0: timing out command, waited 180s sd: 2:0:1:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x00000028 end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 0 Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0 -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
