Comment 1 Prarit Bhargava 2007-05-02 17:44:08 UTC

Adding ddomingo -- Don, this is a clone of 226947 -- this BZ is for the release
note.

"SB600 support has been added to the libata driver.

Users that have used the ide-generic method of handling SB600 IDE devices should
note that the /dev/hd* entries are now /dev/sd*

"

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2007-05-07 14:25:25 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Comment 5 Alan Cox 2007-05-08 11:02:00 UTC

We need some other changes it turns out. From l/k today its reported that the
SB600 doesn't work properly with >4GB memory so needs kernel hacks to handle it.
These are not yet upstream but are being tested at the moment.

Comment 9 Prarit Bhargava 2007-05-09 12:55:29 UTC

Don,

I think I confused you.  This release note is for _4.6_, not 4.5!!!

Please take this out of the 4.5 release notes.
