Hi all, sorry for bothering you with an ordinary user question. Although I've applied the mini patch shown below to vanilla 2.6.18, ata_piix apparently couldn't handle my hard drive on an IBM X40 with ICH4-M chipset. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- diff -Nur linux-2.6.18/include/linux/libata.h linux/include/linux/libata.h --- linux-2.6.18/include/linux/libata.h +++ linux/include/linux/libata.h @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ #undef ATA_VERBOSE_DEBUG /* yet more debugging output */ #undef ATA_IRQ_TRAP /* define to ack screaming irqs */ #undef ATA_NDEBUG /* define to disable quick runtime checks */ -#undef ATA_ENABLE_PATA /* define to enable PATA support in some +#define ATA_ENABLE_PATA /* define to enable PATA support in some * low-level drivers */ --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- A git checkout of libata-dev.git worked out of the box. My question is whether pata support in ata_piix was intentionally not included in mainline as of 2.6.18 (even when ATA_ENABLE_PATA is set), or if there may be a bug.
