While I'm not convinced that there is still a need for a patch like drivers-ata-ata_piix-postpone-pata.patch (whose name seems misleading BTW), seeing how most/all other distributions don't bother with such a thing, I'm willing to believe that there might still be occasional situations where the two drivers could still get into a race.
But I'd argue that nowadays, the patch should then be replaced by another one. More specifically, I think that for those chipsets where both ata_piix and piix can be used, we should nowadays prefer ata_piix over piix, because it's better maintained. And for us docking users, it offers very useful additional features. Stefan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
