Place where the PCI devices are searched for? Or IDE devices specifically? The PCI bus is scanned in the code living in drivers/pci/*.c (2.4 and 2.5 have different files in this directory.) > Also, somewhere in the kernel is there a file that defines the vendor and > device IDs that represent known IDE controllers that are searched for? > I'd be very interested in finding that as well. The IDE controller PCI ids are contained in the individual IDE controller drivers. Hope this helps, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
