I do understand your point. On the other hand, look at the number of groups.google.com hits for "READ_DMA TIMEOUT". Quite a few people seem to have suddenly developed problems with systems that'd been working fine until recently. > Let me rephrase, if ATA had such severe problems noone would be able to > use it.

I've always been very careful to avoid even the appearance of assigning blame in favor of giving factual problem reports. I understand that you can't possibly test every hardware combination being used. However, I do think that the recent rash of ATA-related problems would seem to indicate that there may be a few general issues that aren't directly related to one exact set of hardware. I do appreciate the work you've done, and I certainly don't want to sound like I'm criticizing, but I've been having problems with my system and I've just been trying to report them as accurately as possible. =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBAIqsW5sRg+Y0CpvERArwqAJ4/VFRKHzrRafaWTOEEBGuuzyRXOwCgkHVA oTCfjEcIUhXdCPfitbqc25Y= =LoDu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
