Hello,
I have a PC with a Silicon Image Chipset based IDE controller card. I
cannot access the drive thats plugged into it. eg.
first some info:
sol:~# uname -a
Linux sol 2.4.26 #1 Tue Jun 22 11:58:18 WST 2004 i686 unknown
sol:~# ls -alF /proc/ide/

... Ok. Now bring in the module ...
sol:~# modprobe siimage
sol:~# dmesg | tail -6

The interesting thing is that /proc/ide remains unchanged
sol:~# ls -alF /proc/ide/

and I cannot remove the module from the kernel
sol:~# rmmod siimage

Any ideas of where I should go from here?
