Hello,
It seems Andre Hedrick is no longer working on ide patch for 2.2.x
kernels. So, for last two weeks I have prepared backport of IDE
system from linux-2.4.17+ide.2.4.16.12102001.patch. Ofcourse, not
everything is ready but I think that my patch could be usefull.
What I have already done:
+ IDE goes from drivers/block into drivers/ide like in 2.4.x
+ new versions of most ide drivers
+ flushing/stopping ide disk at reboot/halt/shutdown
+ LBA48 (only for pdc202xx)
+ lot of changes taken from 2.4.x: ide.c, ide-disk, ide-cd,
ide-scsi.c, other related files...
+ some changes in ide-tape, ide-floppy, etc
ide.2.2.21.01282002-Ole seems to be enough stable to be known as RC
version. I'm using it on 4 serwers (2xMVP3, 1xKT133A+PDC20265, 1x430VX)
for about 30 hours and I haven't seen any problems. So, it may work. If
not, don't use it :)
And this is full changelog:

It has been broken since ide.2.2.21.01182002-Ole.
Needs little more work in future.
ide-taskfile.c

only small changes.
o hdreg.h, ide.h, ide-cd.h
more changes required by new ide-taskfile.c, ide-disk.c
pdc202xx.c, ide-cd.c
ide.2.2.21.01212002-Ole for linux kernel 2.2.21pre2: (test version)
o backport from linux 2.4.17:
opti621.c, rz1000.c, umc8672.c, ali14xx.c,
cmd640, cs5530.c, ht6560b.c, ide_modes.h
o backport from ide.2.4.16.12102001.patch:
qd65xx.c,
flushing ide devices at halt/shutdown/reboot
o fix alpha/arm/m68k/mips/ppc/sparc/sparc64
o changes in ide-disk.c, ide-cd.c, ide-tape.c, ide-floppy.c,
ide-probe.c, ide.c, ide-taskfile.c, ide-dma.c, ide.h,
hdreg.h
ide.2.2.21.01182002-Ole for linux kernel 2.2.21pre2: (test version)
o move IDE STUFF from drivers/block into drivers/ide
only x86, need some more work
o backport from ide.2.4.16.12102001.patch:
serverworks.c - ver 0.3
piix.c - ver 0.32
o backport from linux 2.4.17:
ide=reverse
This one doesn't look nice but there is no
dev->prev for PCI in 2.2.x
ide=nodma
works only with pdc202xx, piix, serverworks, via82cxxx
o some chages in ide-cd.h, ide.h, ide-taskfile.c, ide.c, ide-disk.c, ...
There were so many changes between linux kernel 2.2 and 2.4
and just can't backport everything at once.
I hope my changes didn't breake anything. :)
ide.2.2.21.01152002-Ole for linux kernel 2.2.21pre2:
o backport from ide.2.4.16.12102001.patch: pdc202xx.c - ver 0.30
- no 48-bit lba - this requires changes in other files:
ide-disk.c, ide.c, ide.h, ... Maybe in future...
o fix missing DEVID_MR_IDE definition in ide-pci.c for VIA_82C576_1
o add PROMISE_20268R, PROMISE_20269, PROMISE_20275 in ide-pci.c
o add CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE option into Config.in, ide-pci.c
ide.2.2.21.05042001-Ole for linux kernel 2.2.21pre2:
