This is entierly unrelated to the ATA patch. The problem in this case is that you need ACPI support in the OS (coming in 5.0) and support for docking within ACPI as well as better device removal support (I don't know if anyone is working on that or not.) The patch should allow you to add and remove the individual ATA devices using atacontrol so long as you are docked at boot. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
