ICH6M legacy hotswap?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Is there currently any kludge/patch/hack for hot/warm/cold swapping on
the PATA port of ICH6M in legacy mode with ata_piix/libata? Or a way
to switch the ICH6M to AHCI mode (in the absence of BIOS support) and
then get AHCI hot/warm/coldwap?

I'm trying to get hot-swapping of the UltraBay DVD drive on a ThinkPad T43.

(There's a new kernel module, lt_hotswap, that provides IDE
hotswapping on some PATA machines, such as older ThinkPads. It fiddles
with ACPI and the legacy ide driver's internals, so it doesn't work
with the ata_piix driver needed on the ThinkPad T43.)

  Shem
