User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.9i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Having an IDE card with one of these chipsets has left me with a bit of a quandry. I've seen 2 different patch, both seemingly not going anywhere. 1. Alan Cox's IDE driver that was included in his ac patchset, which seems to have died at 2.6.11ac7. 2. A brief visit from a SCSI IDE driver in Andrew Mortons mm patchset. It lived a brief but noted life before being taken out without any reason (that I spotted) in 2.6.12-rc4-mm1 Now, I'd like to upgrade my kernel to cover the security patches releases since 11ac7 but... do I extract the ac driver or the mm driver and try to use it? Will my data be eaten? Is there any chance of seeing either driver in the kernel, proper? Just wondering which way to go and stuff. :/ -- "To the extent that we overreact, we proffer the terrorists the greatest tribute." - High Court Judge Michael Kirby
