IDE subsystem has been deprecated since 2009 and the majority (if not all) of Linux distributions have switched to use libata for ATA support exclusively. However there are still some users (mostly old or/and embedded non-x86 systems) that have not converted from using IDE subsystem to libata PATA drivers. This doesn't seem to be good thing in the long-term for Linux as while there is less and less PATA systems left in use: * testing efforts are divided between two subsystems * having duplicate drivers for same hardware confuses users This patch converts malta_kvm_guest_defconfig to use libata PATA drivers (tc86c001 IDE host driver has no corresponding libata driver yet so it is not converted).

If you have affected hardware please test. Thank you. BTW Does this platform really use tc86c001 chipset or has this defconfig been derived from the one already using tc86c001 driver? arch/mips/configs/malta_kvm_guest_defconfig | 16 +++++++++------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/mips/configs/malta_kvm_guest_defconfig b/arch/mips/configs/malta_kvm_guest_defconfig index a7806e8..3b5d591 100644 --- a/arch/mips/configs/malta_kvm_guest_defconfig +++ b/arch/mips/configs/malta_kvm_guest_defconfig @@ -248,17 +248,12 @@ CONFIG_ATA_OVER_ETH=m CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y CONFIG_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y -CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y -CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC=y -CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y -CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IT8213=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_TC86C001=m CONFIG_RAID_ATTRS=m -CONFIG_SCSI=m -CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=m +CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=m CONFIG_CHR_DEV_OSST=m -CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m +CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR_VENDOR=y CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=m CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y @@ -274,6 +269,13 @@ CONFIG_SCSI_AACRAID=m CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=m CONFIG_AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY_MS=15000 # CONFIG_AIC7XXX_DEBUG_ENABLE is not set +CONFIG_ATA=y +CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y +CONFIG_PATA_IT8213=m +CONFIG_PATA_OLDPIIX=y +CONFIG_PATA_MPIIX=y +CONFIG_ATA_GENERIC=y +CONFIG_PATA_LEGACY=y CONFIG_MD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=m CONFIG_MD_LINEAR=m -- 1.9.1
