This is is known. init/main.c bootline parser only allow 10 parameters per variable. Maybe we have to change our bootline parsing according to the ide driver, which parse the line by itself. ... > Second, I tried loading the hisax as a module, and I discovered > that insmod can't get more than two cards at a time (too many > parameters for insmod), so I tried loading the hisax module several > times... This is a bug inside hisax and fixed in newer versions, but here are other problems left, so I didn't make a update to the kernel. Newer versions are available from our CVS server (oldhades.think.de) or from the CVS-ftp mirror at ftp.suse.de/pub/isdn4linux.
