So timings are slightly off. - cable detection doesn't work I'm waiting for AMD to decide whether they prefer the MSR or the PCI version before pata_cs5536 goes upstream. For now the belt-and-suspenders approach would be to use the patch above. I'd do that for a production system for sure. Is it going to make a significant difference on a net5501 tinker toy with a single PATA drive? Probably not... -- Martin K.
