Re: VIA Southbridges in 2.4.18-rc3

I know this is from a while ago but are their any plans to include
the via 8233a southbridge support in 2.4.19/20?

If not can somebody point me in the right direction on how I would
modify timing.h and via82xxx.c from 2.5.* to enable it to work in 
the 2.4.* kernels.

Yours

That, and adding some code in drivers/ide/via82xxx.c, 
  { "vt8233c", PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8233C, 0x00, 0x2f, VIA_UDMA_100 }, 
is right now ifdef'ed out, and the entry for the vt8233a, which is 
  { "vt8233a", PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8233A, 0x00, 0x2f, VIA_UDMA_133 },
in 2.5.2, is missing (and there is no UDMA_133 in 2.4). 

Right now I am running a 2.4.18-pre9 with a slightly modified 
drivers/ide/(timing.h|via82xxx.c) from 2.5.2, and it works with my 
vt8233a and an UDMA-100 disk, but this is of course not a 
conservative change. Maybe the patch by Vojtech Pavlik mentioned 
in the message I referred to above is less radical. 

Yours, Florian.

2.4.19-pre10 for example includes support for this southbridge
and it works fine for me..

VIA Southbridges in 2.4.18-rc3

[Florian Hars]

Any reason why this:
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0202.1/0970.html
isn't in rc3? My machine still works as it should.

Yours, Florian.

Florian,

Do you mean adding the necessary PCI ID's ?

That, and adding some code in drivers/ide/via82xxx.c,
  { "vt8233c", PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8233C, 0x00, 0x2f, VIA_UDMA_100 },
is right now ifdef'ed out, and the entry for the vt8233a, which is
  { "vt8233a", PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8233A, 0x00, 0x2f, VIA_UDMA_133 },
in 2.5.2, is missing (and there is no UDMA_133 in 2.4).

Right now I am running a 2.4.18-pre9 with a slightly modified
drivers/ide/(timing.h|via82xxx.c) from 2.5.2, and it works with
my vt8233a and an UDMA-100 disk, but this is of course not a 
conservative change. Maybe the patch by Vojtech Pavlik mentioned
in the message I referred to above is less radical.

Yours, Florian.

I don't have it, I use the kludge with files copied from 2.5. I Cc this
message to Vojtech Pavlik, maybe he can send the patch he sent to
Jens Axboe to you, too.

Yours, Florian
