Yes, do you have a patch? And a dmesg dump of the drive in use with and
without a patch?

If you do, please send them to upstream [EMAIL PROTECTED] and hope
that the fix gets applied to Debian kernels too. Also, please test the
sata/pata driver with your drive and add a blacklist there too.


Hi,

Backporting the fix for 2.6.23 to the Debian 2.6.18 kernel hasn't 
succeeded yet, my C has gone very rusty it seems.
In attachment a dmesg log for this drive. When/if I get a working 
patch I'll let you know.


Regards,

Bart

Bug#401035: linux-image-2.6-686 - another misbehaving Seagate

2008-02-03 Thread Bart Champagne

Just found another type of Seagate drives that shows this behaviour : ST310211A
Can this one be blacklisted as well ?

Bart
