Jeff: Sorry, I forgot to include diffs for include/linux/ide.h
and drivers/pci/pci.c. Here is a corrected patch. I am running the
code on that machine on which I'm composing this email, and I have
also verified that cmd640.c compiled without complaint (well,
actually, I've modified the patch slightly to eliminate some unrelated
diffs).
Alan: If you want, please feel free to merge this change.
Alternatively, if you're stepping away from 2.5 while waiting for
modules to stabilize, I'd appreciate knowing what you'd prefer be done
with incoming IDE patches (submit them to Andre and Jens, just wait,
something else?). For what it's worth, 2.5.51 +
init-module-tools-0.9.3 is the first kernel-based module loader
configuration which works enough so that I'm able to work on other
things. For the past few releases, I had been restoring user level
module loading. There still are a lot of quirks with the kernel based
module loading, but you might find it sufficient to get things done.
