Hi Andre, hi lkml, I need to add support for a maximum transfer mode selection on drives and channels. Reason: I have an ata flash disk as boot & root disk, that can only sucessfully do pio2 and it takes several minutes (5-10) until it will use pio2. This is not acceptable for embedded use. I would like to add sth. like: hda=udma2,sdma0,pio2 or ide0=udma0 To say, that this device should only be allowed to use these modes (or worse according to the mode selection list). I'm just afraid that I'll not be competent enough to implement the sequence right (for setting it safely, without data corruption). Hope I can get some hints about some open pitfalls while implementing it straightforward just using set_transfer in a manner seen by ioctl. And I would like to know the stage, at which I could should start applying this setting (since parsing is before ide is set up). Many Thanks in Advance Regards Ingo Oeser -- 10.+11.03.2001 - 3.
