Hi,
I tried your ide1 patch with 2.6.16-rc6 and NFORCE2 board, thus using the
AMD driver (and sil sata driver).

I will see how the DVD+RW drive behaves and let you know whether it makes
troubles. :-)
Ok, I am having some troubles burning CDs/DVDs. I am using k3b as front-end and it has troubles to detect the type of disc inserted. If you eg insert a cd-rw the dialog changes the detected medium around (about each second): cd-rom, cd-rw, etc. Same with DVD+R. It detects DVD+R, waiting a second, than appendable DVD+R etc. But then it thinks it is a RW so it wants to blank/format/whatever it and this breaks, ie. I can't start the burning. It worked fine with a DVD+RW though. And ignoring the message and blanking in menu, I could also write a cd-rw.
I am not sure what is causing the problem. Could dbus/hal be also trouble makers? I don't know whether k3b is making something stupid, as well. Last time I tried I had no problem with the ide driver though. So I don't know whether ATAPI support in libata still needs polishing or whether Alan's PATA patch is missing something or whatever...
What infos should I provide to make diagnosis easier?
