Re: hard disk not accessable via second ide controller
Hi all,
Just came across this while rooting around for info on one of my own
controllers which uses the CMD680.

The correct config line (at least for kernel 2.4.23) for the CMD680 is
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE=y
which is obtained from the menu items
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support --->
IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices --->
<*> Silicon Image chipset support
You could of course use
<M> Silicon Image chipset support
to load the driver as a module but in that case your operating system
probably shouldn't be on a device connected to the CMD680 controller.
It would be REALLY helpful if there were a reliable way of finding out
what drivers support what chipsets. Grepping around in the source for
random character strings is not what I'd call a reliable way but that's
how I found this.
