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.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13265&release_id=20760

The maintainer did post this patch to LKML, but it must've lost in the
shuffle...
Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-01-30 20:07:55 UTC 
The patch to lklm has been line-wrapped before sending. I've asked the
ide-floppy maintainer to send me a new (unwrapped) one.
Comment 2 Michael K. Johnson 2001-01-30 21:46:08 UTC 
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.
