I have confirmed that the SB600 SATA ODD error message also appear on
SB700 board, please refer to the link below for more information to
this issue and our patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commi
t;h=55a61604cd1354e1783364e1c901034f2f474b7d

This patch has been accepted by kernel.org for about half a year,
But I find that etch kernel our QA provided (2.6.18, may be not the
up to date one) do NOT contain this patch. So would you please help
to apply this patch to etch?
Or should I submit another bug to 'submit@bugs.debian.org'?
(You may help to confirm the up to date etch kernel source first if
I need send this mail.

I also checked that there is another SB600 patch NOT in etch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commi
t;h=ab17443a3df35abe4b7529e83511a591aa7384f3
I wish this patch to be applied too.

Thanks
Shane
