Added all of these, but it doesn't work yet.. Also added ERR bit checking after PIO commands. None of the above causes ERR, but the first READ_SECTORS command does. (error register = 0x4, ABORT error) I noticed this Caviar drive works just fine under Linux (both 2.4 and 2.6-test), regardless of whether FILO touched it or not. -- Takeshi _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
