Folks,

After I upgraded to 2.4.21, I noticed my Gigabyte motherboard with onboard IDE Promise 20276 FastTrack RAID no longer works. The following patch fixes the problem, which appears to be an incomplete list of devices in the ide setup code. There are probably other fasttrack RAID adaptors that should be added to the setup code, but I don't know what they are.

Thanks

Hi,

Do you have "Special FastTrak Feature" enabled?

I tried the kernel with the special fasttrak feature enabled, and it didn't work. There are special cases in the pci-setup.c code for other promise adaptors, so adding one more seems to make sense.

Thanks

Can we change the option to something that makes sense. I get the feeling no one understands what it does at 1st glance. This is the 2nd time I've seen a patch like this.

I tried the kernel with fasttrack enabled because I saw something about forcing the bios, but either it doesn't work or it doesn't work with my adaptor. The patch does work, though.

But I definately agree, special fasttrack feature should atleast have some useful help information for how it is used (if anyone knows?)
