After further testing:
the issue that ide-generic creates /sys/devices/ide0/0.0,
which leads to ide-generic being selected as appropriate
driver by yaird, instead of a faster via82cxxx is real.
Workaround for old versions of yaird is to place via82cxxx
early in Default.cfg.
The point that via82cxxx only becomes active after ide-generic
is loaded is also real. This is a bug that was present in 2.6.12
and fixed in or before 2.6.14.
I reworked yaird to avoid ide-generic as far as possible.
Perhaps you could test the version that is now in the development tree?
Instructions:
apt_get install bzr
http_proxy=http://whatever.domain:port/ export http_proxy
bzr get http://www.xs4all.nl/~ekonijn/yaird.bzr/
cd yaird.bzr
sh bootstrap.sh
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
make install
cd $HOME/local/etc
ln -s Debian.cfg Templates.cfg
cd /tmp
sudo $HOME/local/sbin/yaird -v -o junk.img
You're the (almost) first one to use this temporary, throw-away, bazaar-NG
repository, so you may find suprises. Let me know if you need a tarball
instead of this repository.
Note that this tree also contains other changes, and that it does not have
the debian packaging. That means you cannot use it as a drop in replacement
during kernel installs.
Regards,
Erik
