Hi,

(watch crossposting when replying all)

I'm hoping to reach the maintainer of the Linux IDE driver for the 
Compaq TriFlex controller.  I have a problem with this driver when used 
with a Compaq Armada 7730MT while docked in the base station.

The driver appears to only support one triflex controller, due to a 
missing check (that other chipset drivers have) that should prevent it 
from registering a /proc interface more than once.  The result is that 
it hangs on boot in proc_ide_create() in an infinite loop.

triflex.c:

static unsigned int __init init_chipset_triflex(struct pci_dev *dev,
                 const char *name)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS
         ide_pci_register_host_proc(&triflex_proc);
#endif
         return 0;
}

It also appears that triflex_get_info() doesn't support more that one 
controller.

I won't go into more detail until I can establish who might care :)
