Andre, Alan,

could you please take a look at this? I thought the IDE code in 2.4.21-rc1 is able to force enable the ports of a promise controller.

Hello
I am Installed RH 8 with standard kernel 2.4.18
i am downloaded the kernel 2.4.20 from kernel.org and i am problem with Promise

Could you please test 2.4.21-rc1? It has newer IDE and could help.

PDC20267: Neither ide ports enabled in bios

the motheboard is the tyan Tiger200T, this model have promise ATA100 inside

i am selected this options in the kernel

The options look good, but 2.4.20 has some Promise IDE flaws which could cause your problem.

I need help, i am read this list and the option CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE=y is the solution, but no work.. why?

Please try 2.4.21-rc1 and report back to this list.

It can - if you set the configuration option to do so

Hi,

It is a config error, CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE depends on CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_NEW. So even if you set it manually in .config to y, the change won't be propagated.

Here is a quick patch to make force option visible for both old/new pdc. More elegant solution will be to split force option for old/new pdc as suggested by #fixme in Config.in.

Patch agaist 2.4.21-rc1, if it works for you please forward to Marcello.

Regards,
