Subject: pre-patch-2.2.8-series candidate, TESTERS NEEDED...
Patch will not be uploaded to the list......get it at ::
http://www.dyer.vanderbilt.edu/
server/udma/2.2.7.uniform-ide-6.19.delta.patch.gz
This is a major overhaul to mainstream various other platforms in to the
standard kernel IDE-Driver. Every architecture is touched by these
changes. If there is a problem with any part of this transistion patch I
need to know soon. If the problems are to serve, then this will be
required to wait for 2.3.X. If you have a need for any of the chipsets
listed below or generic features, your test is important. Regardless if
you have/use/DGD (Don't Give a Darn) IDE devices, your test is important.
Anyone with soft-ide-raid, your test is important.
By now you should have the point.....
EVERYONE's TEST IS IMPORTANT.
If there is a breakage, fixit if you can or tell me what was error.
This is addressing changes to a critical sub-system of the OS.
FLAMES are not welcome, constructive suggestions are........
This includes new and updated chipset code and changes for ::
ACER ali 1533/1543(C) IDE Driver
Amiga Buddha and Catweasel IDE Driver
CYPRESS CY82C693 chipset IDE controller
Atari Falcon IDE Driver
Amiga Gayle IDE Driver
HighPoint HPT343(HPT345) IDE Driver
Macintosh IDE Driver
Promise Ultra/33 and Ultra/66 IDE Driver
(Three cards full tuned, in testing)
Promise DC4030 IDE Driver
(Selectable idex, in testing)
Intel PIIX IDE Driver
(UDMA/DMA tuning, in the works)
VIA MVP-3/TX Pro III IDE Driver
CMD646 IDE Driver
TRM290 IDE Driver
Andries B.
Phoenix BIOS Geometry Code.
EZ/DM translation geometry fixes.
Geert U. and Russell K.'s
platform integration base model.
Russell King's
dirty dma_cache clearing.
Mark Lord's
patch: "DeviceFault" errors.
Gadi Oxman's
ide-smart beginning integration.
Generic Ultra DMA 66 support.
Addition of IDE6 IDE7 for 16 devices and 8 interfaces.
The list goes on..........
PCI-BIOS quirks added in i386, may be need elsewhere for IDE-PCI cards.
