Subject: ATA100/UDMA100 Support on the ASUS-CUSL2 mobo

[I am not subscribed to the list, so please CC: me]

Hi,

How well is the ATA100/UDMA100 supported in the development kernels ? I
have a system with an ASUS CUSL2 mobo, which has built-in ATA100 IDE
channels, alongwith a Maxtor 20Gb ATA100 HD.

I looked at the kernel config for 2.4.0-test11, but in the "IDE, ATA and
ATAPI Block devices" section couldn't find chipset-specific support for
either the:

(1) Intel i815 chipset, which is what the ASUS-CUSL2 has

or the

(2) Intel I/O Controller Hub 2 (ICH2)

I'd like to get my system working using the built-in ATA100 controller
on the ASUS CUSL2, but what options do I need in 2.4.0-test11's kernel
config ?

Is there support for the Intel i815 chipset ?

I'd appreciate any info.

Thanks,

Yes, the PIIX driver should be able to handle ICH2 and ATA100.
