Yupe, using AHCI. I've just rebooted after adding that blacklist line to the kernel and recompiling but it doesn't seem to have taken effect: ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata1.00: ATA-7: WDC WD800BEVS-07RST0, 04.01G04, max UDMA/133 ata1.00: 156301488 sectors, multi 1: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32) If NCQ is disabled/blacklisted shouldn't the depth say 0/32 ? I used the string "WDC WD800BEVS-07" in the patch, maybe I should use "WDC WD800BEVS-07RST0" instead? cat /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0\:0\:0\:0/model shows "WDC WD800BEVS-07" Stirk, Lamont & Associates Ltd.
