Hello! I'm running 2.6.24-rc7 with an Addonics AD4CFPRJ Quad-CF PCI Controller (http://www.addonics.com/products/flash_memory_reader/ad4cfprj.asp) using Silicon Image PCI0680 chipset which is connected direct (no cables) with 2 Compact-Flash Cards. In configured CONFIG_ATA=y CONFIG_PATA_SIL680=y and the controller is correclty found, but it complains about 40-wire cables, but I'm not using any cables at all. Is there a solution to disable this check or to correct this? Regards Tobias dmesg reports [ 32.577206] pata_sil680 0000:03:04.0: version 0.4.8 [ 32.577230] sil680: 133MHz clock.
