My notebook, an old Pentium/150-based Dell Latitude, uses the CMD643 IDE controller. Is this effectively the same part as the CMD640 that is warned about in the kernel doc? I'm trying to decide if the CMD640 bugfix is required in the v2.4.5 kernel options. Thanks. --------------------- ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx CMD643: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 40 CMD643: chipset revision 0 CMD643: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later CMD643: simplex device: DMA forced ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfe00-0xfe07, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xfe08-0xfe0f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio --------------------- PCI devices found: Bus 0, device 0, function 0: Host bridge: PicoPower Technology PT86C52x [Vesuvius] (rev 4).
