Yup, great work Andre, specially for the PIIXn stuff. The cahce flush
at shutdown is great too. Really, I've been following this work through
lkml, and frankly, I don't understand why it isn't in 2.5 at least.
Cheerio!

Hello Heinz,
The single patch is located on www.linuxdiskcert.org
Once I finish a 2.5.X and comfortable with the changes they will be
brought back to 2.4 again.
respectfully,

Greetings Matthew,
Thanks for the feedback, but lkml needs it or it will not be adopted.
I know the driver is stable and effectively perfect in operations.
So I do not understand the total ignore I receive about it.
respectfully

Andre's ide.2.4.16.12102001.patch works great here. I strongly recommend
it be considered for 2.5 if not also for 2.4.

the -ac tree had the patch in until at least 2.4.13-ac,
which I run on my laptop because it is the latest kernel
that flushes the ide-drive writecache at shutdown.
Before that I had regular filesystem corruptions...

For certain laptops with IBM 2.5" drives its basically
mandatory. Any laptops that needed the Win98 update (or were shipped with
the win98 update) for this.
Current sysvinit/initscripts has a sort of unreliable workaround for this,
which doesn't always help.

Cyrix486/66 Slackware 8.0 12Megs Ram works great with
linux 2.4.16 + ide + rml-preemptible_patch.
hard drive is Seagate 6.4Gb
I have used this combination before and no

I wish it were an easy 2.4 one - its the first thing that fixed my HPT370 DMA
timeouts too.

I also vote for inclusion in 2.4. It runs on several workstations and
a file-server using Software RAID-5 on 3 IBM IDE disk running EXT3
(formerly ReiserFS - but it's speed sucks on RAID5 IDE devices ??) -
no problems!

I spent a couple of hours beating the crap out of it,
and none actually came out. I'd vote for prompt inclusion
in 2.5, and inclusion in 2.4.x-pre1 when it's shown to be
stable.

I vote for doing the reverse. The 2.4 codebase is the more tested, the 2.5
is a forward-port. Given all the related block changes still settling out
in 2.5, changing IDE might make block layer/IDE issues hard to sort out.
Let's see it in the next 2.4.x-pre1.

Just to avoid overperfectness... ;))
Has anyone succeeded in fixing the sis5513 driver to work with ATA100 chips?
I get heavy disk corruption with SiS730S chipset mobo (ASUS A7S-VM).

It works 100% here too! Even on my old blacklisted drives, and my old BP6
mobo with a buggy HPT366 controller.
No more DMA timeouts
No more Attempts to read beyond the end of disk
No more use of ATA-33 on a drive that cannot handle it
Nice work Andre!

So I took that patch that Anton Altaparmakov rediffed for 2.4.18-pre2;
it lacks help for these options:
CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE
CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL
CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_FORCED
CONFIG_IDEDMA_ONLYDISK
Would you mind adding help for these options?
