mark ide-cs broken
PATCH 1/1 mark ide-cs broken
Hi,
After receiving this bug report: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1457
and talking to Arjan, it would appear that IDECS is known to be broken. Arjan has confirmed that he sees the same behaviour with his PCMCIA CDROM using both 2.6 and 2.4.2x kernels.
Therefore, I suggest that we mark it broken. The patch below is for 2.6.1 kernels.
If anyone wants to know the details of why it's broken, please don't mail me - I don't know - the best I can do is refer you to the above URL.
As far as bug 1457 goes - I'll reassign it to "Drivers - Other" later today since we don't have an IDE component in bugme.

It's still working for me as of 2.6.0 with stock kernel and CF, so this is probably premature.

Ok. However, we need some way of quiescing/directing bug reports for ide-cs with real disks to the right department (that being the IDE department, not the PCMCIA department.)
Any better suggestions?
