These host drivers indirectly depend on CONFIG_IDE_ARCH_OBSOLETE_DEFAULTS=y which is defined only on alpha, x86, ia64, m32r, mips and ppc32. Moreover: - on ia64 there is no ISA - m32r is too new for VLB - on ppc32 ISA is available only on PPC_CHRP (no default IDE ports) and PPC_PREP (marked as BROKEN) [ the common sense tells me that VLB was only used on x86 but there are urban legends that one of these host drivers was needed on some other arch - thus the extra care ] Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/ide/Kconfig | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) Index: b/drivers/ide/Kconfig =================================================================== --- a/drivers/ide/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/ide/Kconfig @@ -1031,7 +1031,7 @@ config IDE_EXT_DIRECT endchoice # no isa -> no vlb -if ISA +if ISA && (ALPHA || X86 || MIPS) comment "Other IDE chipsets support" comment "Note: most of these also require special kernel boot parameters" - 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
