Subject: [PATCH] siimage: DRAC4 note
Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 17:56:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070220175600.43476be1@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
The Dell DRAC4 has some interesting features including effectively hot
unplugging/replugging the virtual CD interface when the DRAC is reset.
This often causes drivers/ide/siimage to panic but is ok with the rather
smarter code in libata.
Just note this fact in the driver docs.
