Subject: [patch] [Kconfig] disable CONFIG_FD on ia64, which has no floppy drive
Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2003 17:04:06 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030806070356.GA11405@vexed.ozlabs.hp.com> (raw)
As of linux-2.6.0-test2-ia64-030729, there is no asm-ia64/floppy.h,
and so the fd driver won't work. Other architectures have various
legacy floppy controllers, but ia64 does not have one and is never
likely to.
David Mosberger says:

There is no reason to ever have CONFIG_FD on ia64, but if it does get
turned on then the build will fail. Therefore, I suggest this patch
to keep it off:

If you want to use the floppy disk drive(s) of your PC under Linux,
say Y. Information about this driver, especially important for IBM
