Comment 1 Aristeu Rozanski 2007-11-12 20:44:11 UTC

Justin, I'll have to check if this is possible. Changing device names
between updates isn't a good idea.
The pata_jmicron driver is almost up-to-date in RHEL-5 kernel but isn't enabled.
Are there features missing on the generic driver?

Comment 2 Aristeu Rozanski 2008-01-07 16:34:34 UTC

Justin,
would be enough backporting pata_jmicron so newer devices (or devices not detected
by the drivers/ide/pci/generic driver) are supported by the libata version?

Comment 3 Aristeu Rozanski 2008-06-19 16:50:45 UTC

Justin, ping?

Comment 4 Aristeu Rozanski 2008-09-04 15:40:48 UTC

Justin,
there's a new patch in RHEL-5 that allows disabling all drivers/ide/ drivers
on boot time:
   ide=disable
can you give it a try on a newer RHEL-5 kernel and see if you can use the
controller?
