To help clarify things -- the USB case is wrong. The patch enables the kernel to work around the problem.Perhaps there was a similar patch present in the RedHat 9 and the Morphix (Debian CD-only) 2.4 kernels which can access the drive intermittently?
I think the patch will work with the vanilla kernel as well as with the -mm kernel. You can try it and see.Have you received my detailed dmesg output?
I am not seeing my messages in the list, perhaps because I opted for a digest when I joined today, but yours (above) is on

already.
I will get and install a vanilla kernel for trials but I'm loath to put it onto the target server in case there are various Fedora-special patches missing.
What do you need to know about the standard Fedora2 kernel 2.6.8-1.521 to adapt the patch for it?
