#534708: linux-source-2.6.30: 8086:27df libata driver missing in Debian kernel
It has been closed by Bastian Blank<wa...@debian.org>.
Their explanation is attached below along with your original report.
If this explanation is unsatisfactory and you have not received a
better one in a separate message then please contact Bastian
Blank<wa...@debian.org> by

I reported this difference because it removes a driver I use. This driver does
not use any firmware
so I do not see any point in removing it.
[...]
libata is a library module, not a driver. Please explain what the
actual problem is rather than pointing at changes that may or may not be
related.
However, there are libata based IDE drivers (as opposed to the old IDE drivers) which are
technically superior (support mod_unload for one). Using this driver also avoids compiling a whole
kernel subsystem (the old IDE/MFM/whatnot).
The patch which I posted in the report allows me to use libata based driver for my onboard IDE
controller which is not possible with Debian kernels which miss those PCI ID entries.
Thanks
Michal
