Hello All, I’d like
to ask a question regarding a post I noticed on a message board. The post
I read is as follows. http://mail.bitmover.com/pipermail/sibyte-users/2004-November/000029.html I am using a
BCM91250A evaluation board with a compactflash device connected to the onboard
IDE controller. When booting with a Linux 2.4.20 kernel, the IDE
interface is recognized and the compactflash device is hda. When booting
with a Linux 2.6.16.25 kernel, the IDE interface is recognized, but no device
information is echoed to the console. I’ve included output
below. The message post above mentions that there were problems with the
IDE driver in Linux 2.6 during the late 2004 time-frame. I’d like
to inquire about the current availability of the IDE driver in the kernel. Linux 2.4.20
