Let's see... It's actually "ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ". Google that. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The only hit that I get on this string in Google It is a blacklist for defective products that misbehave when NCQ is enabled, or which have such a poor excuse of an NCQ implementation that one should never enable it. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

You mangled your quoting. I didn't ask these questions, another OP did. I answered them. Or, at least, someone else answered the first and I answered the second. And again, it's not "ATA_NCQ_HORKAGE" but rather "ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ". No real foul. I'm just correcting the record for the various archives. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The only hit that I get on this string in Google I was involved in this confusion at an earlier stage. I'm still confused: What, exactly, do I type into Google to gain a URL of this resource? Does it REALLY involve HORKAGE with an "H"? And underscores? Presumably this is a well know resource. But only to those who already know, and not to me.
