Release Notes
=============

Known Issues
============
Error recovery is not yet fully supported. If the Cyclone device reports an
error to the host, the driver may not be able to handle it correctly.

On FC10, 11, & 12 the kernel should be rebuilt from the sources with the AHCI
driver configured as a module before installing the Cyclone driver.

On FC11 32-bit the kernel hacking configuration option should be disabled
for rwlock to prevent BUG messages from being displayed which will hang the
driver.

In general, better performance has been observed on 64-bit operating systems.
