Hello.

When the message is broken by the format specifier, turning it into one liner can hardly help seraching...

grep "is not 12 bytes"

Yes, carrying "is not 12 " to that would have made sense.

Oh noes, the indentation...

trade-offs...

+ "(IO,CoD != (0,1) while issuing a packet command, retrying\n");

Sigh...

You seem to sigh a lot. ;)

I'm not sure you'll like "ugh" better.

+ "unexpected interrupt, status=0x%02x, count=%ld\n",

Hardly won anything...

+ "%s side 80-wire cable detection failed, limiting max speed to UDMA33\n",

Will you really use the full message to serch here?

+ "probing with STATUS(0x%02x) instead of ALTSTATUS(0x%02x)\n",

Same comment about the line broken by the format specifiers. This wins absolutely nothing.

grep "STATUS.*ALTSTATUS"

Hm, I didn't think about wildcards. Yet I find search for "probing with STATUS" more probable.

+ "no response (status = 0x%02x), resetting drive\n",

And again...

grep "response.*resetting"

I'd grep for "no response (status =" in this case.

cheers, Joe

MBR, Sergei
