Disclaimer
This patchset is in no way affiliated with the Gentoo Foundation and so it's
use does not imply any more or less official support from the gentoo developers.
Do NOT, EVER, post bugs regarding a kernel patched to nitro-sources to
_bugs.gentoo.org_. Post your problems in this thread instead.


If you use this kernel on partitions created with reiser4progs 1.0.4 or older, or you will not be able to mount them with kernels older than 2.6.12!
for details look at this thread

For VMWARE modules to build, apply this patch:
31_back-to-1G-lowmem.patch


What is it?
Custom kernel patchset, based upon ck-patchset from Con Kolivas and
many additional features usually requested by users.

25_revert-mm-hdaps-changes.patch

# fix for the ext3 multiblock patch
27_ext3-get-blocks-maping-multiple-blocks-at-a-once-ext3_getblk-fix.patch

# this is a safe (nitro homebrew :P) version with Kconfig, not selectable on SMP
28_readd-ipt_owner-pid-sid-comm-matching-with-Kconfig-opt-2.patch

# As requested, eCryptfs, see here: http://ecryptfs.sourceforge.net/
29_eCryptfs-v0.1.patch

Regarding your chipset, the people on lkml say it does, sorry but i can't test it myself...

but please, stop using that atapi_enabled thing, it is enabled by default...
look at the patchlisting of fedora patchset, in nitro2 thread...

hmm ok, but it just does not work :?
Is it necessary to disable the option for normal ide in kernel?

ok, try this:
you know how the module for you chipset driver would be called (i mean the libata one!)? (IF you would have compiled it as module)
(without .ko ofcourse ;))
then try this kernel option

<name of the module>.combined_mode=libata

To me it also seems a little snappier, which might be the tiny magic
done in ck2's staircase to some function calls .

It's this one in scsi low level/sata:
CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX

Ok I'm trying out!

Code:

ata_piix.combined_mode=libata

Ok, i dug into the libata patch a little deeper, and, i might cook up a patch with some good chances to work...

but first, what's your chipset again (i mean exactly which ichX)

Here you go:
Code:
IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 80 [Master])


Thanks!

hmm the ide errors at boot went away, but still no luck with my device. Whats wrong here?

Thanks so much for your help!

PS: Did you notice that the kernel does refuse ata_piix.combined_mode=libata at boot?
And did you check my kernel config? I saw that scsi generic wasn't enabled, but also that did not help!

I have the same ide controller and everything is working fine here without that patch.

Code:
lust meqif # lspci |grep IDE
00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 03)

Code:
lust meqif # grep libata /boot/grub/grub.conf
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-nitro3 root=/dev/sda5 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1440x900-32@60 resume2=swap:/dev/sda6 combined_mode=libata


Are you sure your .config is okay?

combined_mode=libata is the right one....

also, it looks like you are missing something in config...
did you enable the pata support drivers? (you need them!!!!)
best both the piix and mpiix pata ones.... i think in same section of menuconfig...

Meqif: can you link your config somewhere?

You could do a diff between our configs (or use gvimdiff), it helps a bit. Good luck.
