Normal Flopply should depend of ISA?

[Otavio Salvador]

Hello folks,

I'm current have problem to use normal floppy disk in 2.6.0-test6-bk7
and looking at last patchset I found one possible cause.

config BLK_DEV_FD
tristate "Normal floppy disk support"
- depends on !X86_PC9800 && !ARCH_S390
+ depends on ISA || M68 || SPARC64
---help---
If you want to use the floppy disk drive(s) of your PC under Linux,
say Y. Information about this driver, especially important for IBM

Is right normal floppy depends of ISA? I'll include this by the moment
but I doesn't have any ISA hardware in my system.

Thanks in Advance,
Otavio

Yes. "ISA" has become to mean more than that old 70's era socket
on the motherboard. Basically, it's a catch-all for any I/O that
doesn't use PCI or AGP. It should probably be renamed to GPIO or
OTHER!
