| |
In testing kernel version 2.6.28-rc4 on my server that was running kernel 2.6.27, an external IDE disk system connected via a PCCard interface failed to start because module ide_disk would not load. The console output is as follows:
finger@sonylap:~> sudo modprobe -v ide-disk WARNING: module 'ide_gd_mod' is unsupported FATAL: Module ide_disk not found.
I did not bisect this problem, but I believe that the following commit introduced this change:
commit 5fef0e5c0283949f95a7891c9424a9f84448116b Author: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com> Date: Fri Oct 17 18:09:12 2008 +0200
My work-around has been to change 'modprobe ide-disk' to 'modprobe ide-gd_mod' in my startup. Please note that one of the underscores is changed to a hyphen.
Thanks,
Larry
