Hm, I patched the kernel with 2.6.11-libata-dev1, compiled it with # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_NEW is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y (for the motherboard IDE) CONFIG_SCSI=y CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y CONFIG_SCSI_PATA_PDC2027X=y and rebooted. SCSI is initialized and the pata_pdc2027x driver is loaded, but it doesn't seem to find any devices. Or maybe it doesn't look for devices at all. I can tell that it's loaded by the existence of /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pata_pdc2027x (a directory which is empty). /proc/scsi/scsi is also empty besides the "Attached devices:" line. During startup the kernel does say "Probing IDE interface ide0" through "ide5" (finding only devices on ide0). I also tried compiling pata_pdc2027x as a module, with same result. What's wrong here?
