From 93590859884784520a1850767f86296abc2cdc6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2006 16:55:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] libata: improve handling of diagostic fail (and hardware that misreports it) Our ATA probe code checks that a device is not reporting a diagnostic failure during start up. Unfortunately at least one device seems to like doing this - the Gigabyte iRAM. This is only done for the master right now (which is fine for the iRAM as it is SATA), as with PATA some combinations of ATAPI device seem to fool the check into seeing a drive that isn't there if it is applied to the slave.
