I've been working with Hard Hat Linux and Embedded Planet's RPX-Lite 823 board for a few weeks and would really like to get an ATA disk working over its PCMCIA port. I've searched through the archives of this list, tried various patches/hacks people have come up with but to no avail. The closest I got was Jo-Ellen Mathews' treatment of the Magnus Damm PCMCIA patches. I don't need (or want) true pcmcia-cs services. No hot-swap or other PCMCIA niceties are needed. I just want the kernel to recognize the ATA/IDE disk on boot and map it to device name like 'hda'. I was hoping that (like on laptops) just turning on 'IDE/ATA support' in the kernel would do the trick, but no such easy fix. I've had no luck from the support channels of either Monta Vista or Embedded Planet (even though we purchased a subscription from MVista). So, since I've run through all my options, I figured I'd put out an impassioned plea to the list. :) As an aside, I also _really_ need USB host (not peripheral) support for an 823 board. Does anyone know of a board that supports this? EP says RPX-Lite won't physically have it until September and I need it now. MVista is planning on releasing a 2.2.14 kernel with USB in a month or so. Thanks for any help anyone can give me, -=tod -- tod@blastoff.com Tod E. Kurt BlastOff! ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
