Community-wise, no one posted objections to the PATA >driver merge plan, when Alan posted it on LKML and linux-ide. Too friggin' hard to test Alan's stuff for older IDE here, therefore ignored so far :( I have some old hardware that Alan is addressing, even an old IBM 260MB PCMCIA HDD. I can't see an easy way to arrange multi-boot with different /etc/fstab depending if I'm trying /dev/hdaX or /dev/sdaX. Parallel '/' partitions? Plus, 2.6.18-rcX fails too early in boot on one machine (p100 IBM 365X) for any testing. Suggestions welcome...
