Promise 202XX: neither IDE port enabled
A message that is not in the archive (sent off-list or not yet received): [email protected]
It is messy because there is no way to commit parameters passed to change the contents of static initdata, iirc. However I need to think about this more.
Cheers,

It is designed to allow you to overide a FastTrack BIOS that disables a few items in pci-config space. Regardless if you have a FastTrack or Ultra, if enabled the device can be registered. If you have a FastTrack and want to use ata-raid by Arjan V. and not the OEM scsi binary driver, you must enable the override. If you want to use the OEM scsi binary driver with FastTrack, do not set the override. Ultra's do not care. If they do it is a BUG!

Wouldn't it be better to have the
CONFIG_PDC20XXX_FORCEoption as kernel parameter , which is settable at boot time ?
According to Murphys Law you either get a precompiled kernel with that option disabled but you want/have to use Arjans drivers. Or the Option is enabled but you prefer to use the driver from Promise.Signature · 1 line
