Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 5.1 How reproducible: 1. Boot from Installation cd Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot 2. 3. Actual results: 1.show device as hdx. Expected results: 1.show device as sdx. Additional info: 1.Include patch for match class code only will also support new controller.
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?
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?
Justin, ping?
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?
