The patch at the tail of this mail makes
ata_dev_try_classify()ignore diagnostic code in FEATURE. If the iRam successfully gets attached with the patch, can you please post 'hdparm -I/dev/sdX' and 'hdparm --Istdout/dev/sdX' of the iRam?

Hi, I'm having the same trouble with this card as everyone else. I'm wondering if anyone would care to comment about what the above patch may break. Is it going to disable safeguards, such that if a disk in my system actually does crash, I won't know it? Or, is it simply going to mean that I should be careful to only plug things into the system that I know are supported?
I'm in contact with Gigabyte, trying to get their opinion on the matter. I know others have said that they are very unhelpful when it comes to linux support, but I'm hoping that if we can show them what's wrong, they could roll up a fix in a firmware release.
