Do we need to check some special options in the configuration file for version 2.4.16 to support Promise ata133 card and Maxtor 160G drive? Because from the kernel configuration file for 2.4.16, only ata33/ata66/ata100 are supported for Promise card. The last question, do we need to manually change any files beside downloading the former newest kernel? Thanks a lot. Yours sincerely, Guolin Cheng -----Original Message----- From: Adam J.

I am using a Maxtor 160GB hard disk with your patches on linux-2.4.15-pre5, and it seems to be working well so far (two hours). I do have a couple of minor notes about your patch. I could generate some diffs, but they're simple and I'm not completely sure about the right solution. 1. Your patch creates a circular dependency between the ide-mod.o and ide-probe-mod.o modules, which is only noticible when IDE support is compiled as a module. The problem is that ide.c has the EXPORT_SYMBOL declarations for export_ide_init_queue and export_probe_for_drive in ide-probe.c. At the moment, I have moved the two EXPORT_SYMBOL declarations to the ide-probe.c, but I believe the correct solution is just to remove the two routines from your patch, since it appears that nothing uses them yet. 2. A while ago, I posted a change that modularizes partition support (in reality, I never use the kernel-based partition code, but that's another matter). Your declaration of ide_xlate_1024_hook to fs/partitions/msdos.c creates a circular dependency in my kernel (but not in Linus's), which I fixed by moving the declatation to fs/partitions/check.c. I do not yet understand the purpose of ide_xlate_1024 to understand whether it really is specific to the MSDOS style of partition labeling. Anyhow, I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you want me to geneate a patch or test anything. So far, your patch seems to be working very well. Thank you very much for developing it. Adam J.
