I'm thinking about switching fully to libata in the near future
(currently I'm using CONFIG_IDE for all my PATA drives, both hard disks
and DVD recorder), and I was wondering if PATA support for VIA8237 was
full or not. For what I've googled, it seems that it is usable both for

Hi all :)
I know, this has been treated on the list before (year 2005) but
without any real solution I'm aware of.
I'm running kernel 2.6.20.14, and I have an ATAPI DVD writer that I
use with an IDE-to-USB adapter, so it appears as an SCSI drive to the
kernel.

Hi all :)
I have an AMD Athlon64, and according to "powernow-k8", it has to
fid's, for 1000MHz and 1800MHz. I don't know if this is correct or if I
should enable ACPI to have more fid's, but my question is not about
this.
