Not sure whether the 'probing with STATUS instead of ALTSTATUS' message is normal for the A1200. Geert might remember that sort of detail.That comes from drivers/ide/ide-probe.c:ide_dev_read_id(). Looking at the code, it may be caused by the drive, too.I don't see IDE_HFLAG_BROKEN_ALTSTATUS set anywhere in the kernel code except drivers/ide/amd74xx.c. gayle.c sets: .host_flags = IDE_HFLAG_MMIO | IDE_HFLAG_SERIALIZE | IDE_HFLAG_NO_DMA, So how would that flag bit get set for the gayle driver?Finally someone bitten by not using the ! operator ;-)
Nah, I just overlooked the == 0 at the end. Same effect though. Now where did I last see that brown paper bag ... Cheers, Michael
The test condition is
(hwif->host_flags & IDE_HFLAG_BROKEN_ALTSTATUS) == 0
i.e. if the flag is _not_ set.
