That is probably a more correct approach. Consider that if you do have PCMCIA, then you can plug a CF card in and, therefore, you have an IDE interface in the system. So, selecting HAVE_IDE if PCMCIA is enabled is entirely reasonable. What isn't so reasonable is not providing asm/ide.h if your architecture has the possibility of supporting PCMCIA. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: -- 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
