I submitted the part of patch00155 that fixes wd.c not reporting any
bad blocks. Unfortunately, the patch created a new problem that makes new
installations using that kernel impossible. I have included a patch below that
should fix both problems. The fix comes from Tom Ivar Helbekkmo's wd driver
(the Norway wd driver). I've also eliminated the use of the DKFL_QUIET flag
completely, since it is not used anymore.
Fixed wdgetctrl routines for so that it returns a meaniful string for
non IDE disk drives. It also nolonger returns success when a drive is
not really there.
