Re: Initialisation bug in IDE patch

[Andre Hedrick <andre@linux-ide.org>]

First question for 2.2.X, in your .config is "CONFIG_BLK_DEV_QD6580" set ?
If not then ide0=qd6580 will yield "-- BAD OPTION"

Second question for 2.4.X in your .config is "CONFIG_BLK_DEV_QD65XX" set ?
If not then ide0=qd65xx will yield "-- BAD OPTION"

Please check those first.

Cheers,
