Thanks. I have a host controller with the same chipset. I was having frequent data corruption problems, so I asked about it on current_at_ a few days ago. so_at_ offered a patch (which has now been comitted), but it didn't help. Bottom line, he said to get a Promise SATA card. Since I don't want to mess around with this anymore, I went to Amazon, and ordered one. In looking at this output, I doubt the patch would even affect you since you're using the new hardware revision. For more details, check the archives for current_at_ for a thread with the subject, "Recent ATA drivers giving problems with SATA." Joe > > Regards, -- PGP Key : http://www.marcuscom.com/pgp.asc
