Please don't create bugs in bugzilla when you're drunk.

He clearly isn't drunk, and you clearly are not as funny or clever as you think
you are.

This kind of arrogance and unprovoked rudeness should not be tolerated by any
open source project, you drag the project your working for down as much as you
do people's opinions of yourself.

Hi,

does libata also fail to detect your drive? I.e., turn off CONFIG_IDE and
enable CONFIG_PATA_VIA.

libata seems to find the drive fine -- abcde and mplayer are happy with it, vlc
won't play it, but i suspect that's vlc's problem.

I play around a bit tonight to see if the change is fine -- my drives all have
different names now...

Thanks.

You can always have stable device names with udev:

I had a problem which sounds very similar last week.

I started a forum thread here (before I discovered this DB):
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-virtualization-90/2.6.31-kernel-guest-os-on-vmware-esx-3.5.0-780042/ 

The solution (for us) was to regress out this kernel change:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git-commits-head/2009/6/12/5948973

A more resilient fix might be to leave ide_probe_port() as-is but to fix 
ide_wait_not_busy() to return the last successful rc code (only returning
-ENODEV if strictly no device is detected on the IDE port). I do not know what
other repercussions such a fix might have however.

Same issue here on vmware server 1.08: The IDE cdrom is not detected anymore on
kernel 2.6.32.9. I've reapplied the patch to 2.6.32.9 and will attach it here
for easier access.

See Documentation/SubmittingPatches for how to get patches accepted. The person
handling IDE now is Dave Miller.

Thanks for the tip, Alan. The patch was meant as a hint or PoC, there must be a
reason why the IDE controller is returning "no devices attached". Just added it
for the IDE maintainer to get an idea what might be wrong.

I also can't sign the patch as I didn't write it in the first place, can I?

Reverting the commit mentioned above should do the same trick:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git-commits-head/2009/6/12/5948973

btw: I guess it's a good idea to add the original author as CC:.
