Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1957 Lines: 38 Hi Alan, I will try this patch on an IBM T41 Thinkpad, and I am interested in its IDE Hotplug functionality. Will I be able to swap IDE devices in my ultrabay without using "idectl 1 rescan" (using this patch only) ? Do I need any other special tool for ide hotswapping in this case? Or should I wait for IDE hotplug at the device level ? Thanks, Paul On Tue, 31 Aug 2004 13:08:39 -0400, Alan Cox wrote: > I've posted up a 2.6.8.1-ac1.
