Fix for promise RAID controllers not working as IDE controllers in 2.4.19

Post by David Hinkl » Thu, 12 Sep 2002 07:00:11



When an a promise raid 20267 (and probably others) is used as an IDE device
in 2.4.19 it won't detect using the non-raid driver as it would in 2.4.18.
(So it can be used as a high performance ide controller).

The problem lies in the addition of some ifdefs checking the status of
CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE in ide-pci.c.  On line 672 an ifdef needed to be
changed
to an ifndef, a bug found way back in RC2, but when it was changed the ifdef
on line 405 got changed instead.

To get everthing working properly change
#ifndef CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE
on line 405 to
#ifdef CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE

and change
#ifdef CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE
on line 672 to
#ifdef CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE

I'd quote the origional posts by my entire network just went down.
