Description Sam Varshavchik 2001-01-30 19:05:52 UTC

The kernel shipped in Fisher is -ac11, which includes an early version of
my patch to ide-floppy.c, which was initially added in -ac4. There's been a
few minor changes since then, mostly to suppress a spurious, and a harmless
error message.

http://www.email-scan.com/idefloppy/floppy-0.07.tar.gz contains an updated
patch diff against ide-floppy.c from 2.4.0-final.

ide-floppy's maintainer's tree includes all the changes. ide-floppy.c's in
maintainer's tree also includes support for Zip and Klik drives too, BTW.

The maintainer did post this patch to LKML, but it must've lost in the
shuffle...

The patch to lklm has been line-wrapped before sending. I've asked the
ide-floppy maintainer to send me a new (unwrapped) one.

Assigned to Arjan, since he is handling this.  (Thanks, Arjan...)

Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2001-01-31 14:36:53 UTC

Patch added for next build.

Comment 4 Sam Varshavchik 2001-02-04 19:45:04 UTC

Succesfully formatted a floppy in 0.99.21smp build.
