Please also consider:

Subject: libata reset-seq merge broke sata_sil on sh
Subject: [Bugme-new] [Bug 8462] New: applications under wine freezes

But we have many many more regressions which are in 2.6.21.x, only nobody's tracking those. Nobody seems to be fixing them either. Probably everyone's busy on the 2.6.14 regressions.

Status : Unknown

We're trying to reproduce this in our labs here but that piece of code has been extensively tested on various platforms and architectures, so I'm a bit surprised about it. I've asked for more info on the bugzilla as well.

So, this is being worked on actively.

Cheers,

Auke
