Hi, What SATA support has been added? I'm looking for support for the Silicon Image 3114 on a tyan 2882 - did that make it in or do I need to keep using the 2.6 kernel which is not working well with my java app? Thanks Al Andi Kleen wrote:

I just grabbed -171 and gave it a whirl on my S2885. It seems to reintroduce the IOMMU optimization that was problematic on 3ware and QLogic cards a while back and fixed in -156 (all trace of the changes to kernel/pci-gart.c relating to the 'nofullflush' option have disappeared). Booting -171 sees all sorts of DMA corruption doing things like paging in libc, then it eats my / as soon as it writes the superblock out (wrong). Fun!

Am I mistaken, or is there something more recent/better than -171 floating around out there?

The latest released 9.0 kernel is -178 (including security updates, so you should definitely update). It has the workaround enabled by default.

It also has updated SATA support.

No changes for the 3114 are in that kernel, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SuSE Linux AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
