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 Output:
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
ide: Assuming 50MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
SiByte onboard IDE configured as device 0
hda: SanDisk SDCFB-1024, ATA DISK drive

Partition check:

Linux 2.6.16.25 Output:

ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide

Thank you for your time.
Gary

The SWARM onboard IDE works for me with the appended patch. (Originally from
Peter Horton <pdh@colonel-panic.org>.)

I think the problem is that PCMCIA support was never ported to 2.6.
Peter 'p2' De Schrijver wanted to work on this but I've no idea what
the progress is.

Has it been submitted anywhere?

AFAIU Gary used a Compact Flash connected to the onboard IDE, not a
CF -> PCMCIA Adapter.
