While looking through ide-probe.c I came across the following code: /* * Prevent long system lockup probing later for non-existant * slave drive if the hwif is actually a flash memory card of some variety: */ if (drive_is_flashcard(drive)) { ide_drive_t *mate = &HWIF(drive)->drives[1^drive->select.b.unit]; if (!mate->ata_flash) { mate->present = 0; mate->noprobe = 1; } }
In my case I am using a flash card with a normal harddrive as the slave, but this code does not allow for that combination. Their must be a better way to handle this, or it should at least print, "Flash Disk Detected, Ignoring Slave"...
