hi there,
is there any chance of upcoming support for the vt6410 ide/raid chipset in the
2.6.x kernel? there has been an attempt by via itself, but it only suits
redhat 7.2 kernels and systems, thus it is highly specific. is there any1 who
is working on that?

It should already be in there.
Note that it is not really RAID... just software RAID.

can you tell me the exact kernel-config-option or the menuconfig line? i have
looked for it and couldn't find it. also most of the google hits were
negative. there weren't many, either.

yeeah, don't care. i wanna use it in jobd mode in connection with the md
driver.

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC or CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VIA should do it.

oh, i thought these options were for SATA only. what i need is the ide-part of
the controller. is this support by these options, as well? i will try as soon
as possible. i use a debian-backports kernel which for now always kills the
system during kernel-image-boot. as i use the board in one of our servers, i
cannot really fiddle around with it to much. thanks for your info.

My apologies. The PATA part is handled by CONFIG_IDE, though
drivers/ide/pci/via82cxxx.c may need another PCI id or two. 'lspci -n'
will retrieve these ids.
