Hello,
I have a system with ABIT BX-133/RAID mother-board, and run
Gentus Linux booted from /dev/hde, which is UDMA/100 IBM-DTLA-307030 drive.
The following lines of the boot-log can provide information about
the system (kernel version 2.2.15-3.0).
Would it be possible to boot kernel 2.4.x from the UDMA/100 drive ?
in http://www.linux-ide.org/ultra100.html it is not mentioned if
the patches can help with boot.
Thanks,
Yuval Krymolowski, [email protected]
(I will check the list but please CC me as well).

You shouldn't need Andre's patches.

I am doing this very thing on linux 2.2.18. My kernel has both the hd.c and
ide.c drivers installed.
I had to specify ide0=0x1f0 to the kernel to prevent the kernel's hd.c driver
from remapping the first two drives to hda/hdb. With the ide0 setting the
kernel preserves the true partition mapping. My boot partition is on
/dev/hde and my root is on /dev/hdg.
Since my UDMA 100 controller is an addon controller I had to instruct my
system's BIOS to specify boot order as ATA/SCSI, and to boot from "SCSI"
rather than HDD0.
