I tried to selelct / compile the ide part as module within the kernel, with only CD-Rom support. 'make all' worked fine. But 'make modules_install' issued a long list of warnings: WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.1/kernel/drivers/ide/ide.ko needs unknown symbol ide_scan_pcibus WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.1/kernel/drivers/ide/ide.ko needs unknown symbol ide_release_dma WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.1/kernel/drivers/ide/ide.ko needs unknown symbol create_proc_ide_interfaces ... (about 20 lines)
I tried to track it down a bit, and it might be that when linking 'ide.ko' (or alternative 'ide.o' ???) the object 'setup-pci.o' is not added in the linker list. (The function ide_scan_bus() is in setup-pci.c)
When compiling all the ide/ATA stuff directly in the kernel, then there are no errors / warnings regarding this in the kernel build.
Attached are both configurations for the kernel. The one that produced the warnings, and the modified one used for verifying the problem.
I hope this helps. It would be nice if you can give me a short note about it.
Note:
I tried to contact Michael Elizabeth Chastain, as listed in Maintainers, but looks as if he is no longer maintining it.
