Jeff,
Hi, my name is Bryan and I develop a small linux based OS used in
manufacturing here at Dell. I have some new systems based on the ICH8
Neat!
Chipset that I need to support with the 2.4 kernel. I had noticed the
2820, 2825 and 2828 pci information is in the 2.6.17-rc4 kernel source.
Are you planning on adding that support back to the 2.4 code base?
Unfortunately not. For the purposes of libata, and also for the 2.4.x
kernel series in general, it is in strict maintenance mode, with only
severe bug fixes being addressed.
If you, or others, wanted to backport the current libata to 2.4.x, you
would certainly have my blessing. I just don't have time for 2.4.x at
all, particularly as recent libata changes have made the backport more
difficult than it was in the past.
