Btw: these > drivers seem much more complete and robust than those in the > distribution thank you. my hope is that it will be included in the distribution. i'm not sure if i've recapped this on the list or not. there are a couple of main goals of the sd/libfis work: - support for raw ata commands allowing, e.g., smart, atazz. - generic lba/nblocks <-> sata fis / sas frame translation. - support for 64-bit (scsi) or 48-bit (ata) lbas in all sd drivers. - support for combined-mode sata/sas hardware; e.g. sdorion. - cleanup; e.g. removing the translation from lba/nblocks -> scsi cdb -> lba/nblocks for non-scsi devices. other small things have been done as well like conformance with acs-2 (the latest ata command set proposal) and updating to ahci 1.3 and 3d generation/6gbps sata. > Things seem to be working okay, except for some leaked blocks (which > may have been due to an unclean shutdown), so perhaps it was a fluke. > Regardless, I'll see about getting you those boot messages. it occurred to me that i have also also seen some funnies when "legacy usb" is enabled in bios with a usb keyboard or mouse. this feature enables smm (system mgmt mode) and can cause interrupt problems. - erik
