No, you're right here.

Here is updated patch:

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
Subject: [PATCH] via82cxxx: don't use UDMA on VIA UDMA33 controller with Transcend SSD

Don't use UDMA on VIA UDMA33 controller with Transcend SSD.

The computer locks up if Transcend SSD runs in any of UDMA modes.
It doesn't lockup with different brand SSD, so this is specific to Transcend.

bzolnier:
- limit it to VT82C586A/B + TS64GSSD25-M (per commit 10734fc ("pata_via:
  Blacklist some combinations of Transcend Flash and via")) for now
- add warning message

So as far as is known its a weird glitch on one persons box with one
device with one firmware that's not been replicated ?

That's not a patch candidate really is it.
