Can I object that it came built onto the board? okok... i'll take that as a no for now...
Tho i'm still not quite sure how it makes a diff to be honest, unless you mean that the Promise and HPT will never be supported for DMA?
and the only other thing i should say is that altho i'm not exactly a n00b, the average user WILL expect it to work.
can i expect this to be fixed by 2.6? (yeah, i know... 2.4-ac-ide code is similar to 2.5-ide code) -- tabris - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
