Hello!
1. why is printk used without KERN_* makro?
like ' printk("[ ");' (267), ide-scsi from 2.6.0test9, version 0.92
(there are more examples)
2. is the command line hdx=ide-scsi still necessary?
-> if not, we should update the help
Can't we pass the options via module parameters (if it is a module) ?
-> if yes, we should update the help
-> if no, is it possible to implement it?

Because it was not updated to use KERN_*?

Yes, IMO "hdx=driver_name" should be removed instead.

It is possible for ide-cd, I don't remember about ide-scsi.
Anyway not modular case is the more difficult one.

Dunno.
BTW I don't think you'll get response from gadio.

If somebody tells me what KERN_* are possible, I will update
ide-scsi.

I rechecked this: It is not necessary anymore.

If I update the helpfile, who takes the patch?

Why not?

So how do you put drive to scsi emulation if you don't use procfs?

Unfortunately the interface is a bit braindead. KERN_* only applies
to the beginning of a line.
