While it is easy to find the kernel configuration entry for ext3 it is not so
easy to find the one for my disk controller.
I used some hardware detection tools to grab the information about my hardware.
It shows the following information about my IDE controller:
description: IDE interface
product: 82801BA IDE U100 Controller
vendor: Intel Corporation
physical id: 1f.1
bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:00:1f.1
version: 05
width: 32 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: ide bus_master
configuration: driver=PIIX_IDE latency=0
00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801BA IDE U100
Controller (rev 05)
What kernel configuration should I set up for my controller.
I cannot see the "PIIX_IDE" in my kernel.
The best option for me would be to compile the kernel with everything build-in.
Then to run a tool that generates the minimal kernel configuration for my
system.
Compile the kernel again with my minimal kernel ".config" file and start using
it.
Is it possible ?
If so how can I do that ?
thanks for help
