I think the problem here might be that libata doesn't actually support SG_IO

Try it with a 2.6.24-rc* kernel from kernel.org, or back-patch the ATA_16
SG_IO support into your older kernel.

Hi Mark,

I already tried 2.6.24-rc2 and it didn't work, see my last reply:

Yeah, I'm a bit drowsy this morning -- the set speed command
doesn't use ATA_16, so it should work with any kernel.

I'll try it here soon-ish, since I need to update "hdparm -E" for libata anyway.

Cheers
