[PATCH] kill ide-geometry.c, fix boot problems

From: Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl
Date: Wed Apr 16 2003 - 10:16:27 EST


[Bug 588] is about boot problems of someone with
Disk Manager on 2.5.67. The patch below fixes the
problems, and is a large cleanup.

All traces of ide_xlate_1024 have been removed.
Few people need it, and sometimes it was directly
harmful. (And it is dead code in 2.5.recent.)
There are now boot options "remap" and "remap63"
for people with EZD or DM.

Andries

>> please report

> That patch worked just fine ;)
> Now it booted, and averything is nice.

This also means that someone can close the bug report.
