I see both before and after messages for hda, but when hde is probed I see neither. Briefly looking at the IDE code, I see the max request size: printk comes before either of those lines, as as nothing else is printed after that line (see original bug report), I can only assume the problem is somewhere before the write_cache(). I applied the patch on top of your previous changes, as they seemed innocuous enough. -- Cheers, Alistair. personal: alistair()devzero!co!uk university: s0348365()sms!ed!ac!uk student: CS/AI Undergraduate contact: 7/10 Darroch Court, University of Edinburgh. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
