2.4.20-pre8 swaps ide controller order on A7V266-E
Quoted 4 lines · Samuel Flory
I'm not sure what the kernel issue is, but there is a simple work
around. EnableCONFIG_BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD(aka boot off-board chipsets first) in the ide section. You can also produce the same effect via
What is the meaning of the word "boot" here ?
As this is a kernel option, it comes into effect when the kernel is already loaded, so the boot already happened and this option can have no effect on it.
Confused ...

ide=reverse on the kernel command line (or an append statement in lilo).
This will reverse the order in which the chipsets are seen.
