I *think* this was mentioned as the reason in the release announcement, or maybe just in the git commit message? I saw it somewhere. Is there a reason your kernel doesn't have libata turned on? (Chipset doesn't work yet perhaps?) In general, the udev maintainers seem to be riding the bleeding edge of everything else pretty closely; I'm surprised that a version of path_id that worked with non-libata had stayed around as long as it did... > Is the omission of the ide port going stay, or will ide handling be > reimplemented eventually? I *think* there were comments somewhere to the effect of "let's see how many people actually need this". Or maybe it was "if you need this, you'll have to add it yourself"? Can't remember for sure.
