Right, adding PCI support will solve most of our problems in ata.mod. Currently, a reset is sent to each device. If PCI is used, every ATA device can be found (if they support the ATA/ATAPI standard). Besides that, the reset might cause problems. Perhaps the ATA driver can even coexist with biosdisk.mod in this case... -- Marco _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
