The right solution is the one suggested in the last link above, which is also what Robert Hancock said too : not use CONFIG_IDE=m. The reason is very simple : the IDE code may call several other drivers, some of which are modules, some of which are hard-linked into the kernel. It has no reliable way of knowing which ones will be available. In fact, the build system inside drivers/ide is not perfect as it's not an easy part. The other solution in your particular situation is to replace in your .config: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640=y with : CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640=m because only cmd640 causes trouble. I've tested right here and it fixes the problem as expected. After all, nearly all your other IDE drivers are modules. > > - link to the patch you are talking about ? > > It's the patch made by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz: > > http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0311.2/1136.html OK thanks. It was merged, but it _seems_ to require that you link ide-core with the kernel and only use ide-probe-mini to probe/unprobe devices. Never tried this way though.
