For semi-modern machines that might be true. However: 1) there's no libata replacement for the IDE pmac driver 2) pata_pdc202xx_old can't do UDMA on my 440BX PIII box 3) pata_legacy doesn't release io/irq combinations for failed probes, causing conflicts with drivers loaded later on (Not a complaint, just a reminder that rm -rf drivers/ide/ isn't an option yet.) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
