Hi, With 2.6.15.5 I am using ide2=noprobe on the command line but drivers/ide/setup-pci.c overwrites the hwif->noprobe flag back to zero on line 442. The following patch fixes it: 442c442 < hwif->noprobe = !hwif->io_ports[IDE_DATA_OFFSET]; --- > hwif->noprobe = hwif->noprobe || !hwif->io_ports[IDE_DATA_OFFSET]; This allows ide2=noprobe to work correctly. Without the patch the kernel takes around a minute to determine that ide2 is not there, but with the patch it is instant. Is this patch the correct way to do it? How do I get it merged into the main code if it is correct? Sorry for the obvious questions but I'm a bit of a newbie at this.
