Hi!
I used boot option ide0=ata66 to set my laptop harddisk to
UDMA100. Without this option it runs only on UDMA33, because I need
to force UDMA100 on this chipset.
Now I see the warning during boot:
ide_setup: ide0=ata66 -- OBSOLETE OPTION, WILL BE REMOVED SOON!
so I wonder which option will replace the obsolete one?
idebus=66 didn't help.
It is not a real bug for now, but will cause problems in future, so
please look for a prevention, please.
Does this error still occur with more recent kernel versions?
This option was removed from kernel in 2.6.12, but there is a new possibility
for computers with short 40 wire
IDE cables to have UDMA100.
One could add it to the array of such devices. Here is the patch I use for
2.6.26:

AFAIK it will be included in next kernel version (2.6.28 ?).
Therefore I changed the bug severity to wishlist.
Should it be reassigned to a more recent linux-source version?
Feel free to close it if it is included into kernel.
Bye,
Erik

hello erik, thanks for your verbose feedback, On Sat, 18 Jun 2005, Erik Schanze wrote: maximilian attems [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Fri, 17 Jun 2005, Erik Schanze wrote: snipp It is an ACER Travelmate 291 LCi. I attached dmesg with ide0 option, without it and 'lspci -v' output. I played a little bit with: - newest Debian-Kernel 2.6.8 (testing, where I come from to unstable), - Kernel 2.6.11 (build from kernel-source-2.6.11, debian-logo-patch applied and HZ set to 100 in kernelsource/include/asm-i386/param.h) and - hdparm. On Kernel 2.6.8 the option ide0=ata66 is required to be able to put HD in UltraDMA mode3/4/5 (it is done on boot automagicly). Without it refuse to set these levels with hdparm (-X67 till -X69). Error message ide0: Speed warnings UDMA 3/4/5 is no functional. On kernel 2.6.11 the option is not required, because UltraDMA levels till mode5 are possible without this option. Hdaprm does not complain of setting it (-X69), so the option seems needless.(- obsolete?) I have no idea, if it is only a cosmetic issue in boot messages that there is shown (UDMA33) and the chipset runs on UDMA100 though or a really drawback. My notebook HD seems too slow to determine it: '$ hdparm -t /dev/hda' gives ~23,9 MB/sec in UltraDMA mode2 (hdparm -X66) and all above levels till UltraDMA mode5 -X69, so I think my HD is on the limit. Desktop-PCs with similar chipset, that also needed this option maybe give other results, because of its faster HDs. could you please try linux-image-2.6.12 they aren't yet in unstable due to the new packaging scheme, but you can find them here: http://charm.itp.tuwien.ac.at/~mattems/ please report dmesg of the 2.6.12 kernel. if it still does not find the UDMA100, please send in /proc/ioports of working 2.6.8 and of non working 2.6.12. -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
