I like to rereport that the IDE Controllers get strange device- node-number in Linux-2.4 (currently vanilla 2.4.16) at least using DevFS. I reported (~a year ago) that when I disable the primary channel of the on-board controller of the Asus-K7M (Irongate based) the second channel will be host1 - no host0 can be found. My today's issue is our K6-2 based server with an Gigabyte Ali-Aladin5 board. The on-board controller is host0 but the additional Promisse TX2 Ultra100 will be host2 ??? no host1 there ... : server1:~ # l /dev/ide/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 .. drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 host0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 host2 >From /var/log/boot.msg: <4>ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx <4>PDC20268: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 58 <6>PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0b.0 <4>PDC20268: chipset revision 2 <4>PDC20268: not 100%% native mode: will probe irqs later <4>PDC20268: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary MASTER Mode Secondary MASTER Mode. <4> ide2: BM-DMA at 0xa800-0xa807, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio <4> ide3: BM-DMA at 0xa808-0xa80f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio <4>ALI15X3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 78 <4>PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:0f.0.
