I read your account of successfully swapping devices
in an HP notebook and just had to give it a try on
my Dell Inspiron 8000. Unfortunately it didn't work
so well.
Would you be so kind as to list out the exact steps you
use?
Here is what I did (I normally use a second battery in
the bay) under 4.8-RELEASE:
1) Remove battery.
2) Plug in Sony CDRW unit
3) Run atacontrol info 1 and see CDRW unit
4) Run atacontrol mode 1 and see mode ???
5) Run atacontrol mode 1 WDMA2 0 and get hung xterm
6) Run atacontrol mode 1 and still see mode ???
7) Run atacontrol reinit 1 and get hung xterm
8) Run atacontrol mode 1 and still see mode ???
9) Run atacontrol detach 1 and get hung xterm
10) Run atacontrol info 1 and still see CDRW unit
11) Run atacontrol detach 1 and get hung xterm
12) Remove CDRW unit and replace battery
13) Run atacontrol list and still see CDRW listed
14) Check ps -ax | grep ata and see:
17284 p2- D 0:17.51 atacontrol mode 1 WDMA2 0
16578 p5- D 0:17.77 atacontrol reinit 1
17068 p5- D 0:18.15 atacontrol detach 1
18837 p5- D 0:16.95 atacontrol detach 1
