Re: Attaching piixide device before pdcsata device
Hi Dieter,
The motherboards we use have piixide devices.
The problem with hardwiring the devices is, on some of the motherboards,
the primary drive is detected as wd1.
This occurs even though the primary drive is the only installed drive in
the system and installed on SATA port 0.
As you can imagine, this is proving to be quite frustrating.
Regards,
Selvan

Hi Brian,
I have tried hard-wiring the kernel just as you've described.
The problem with this is, we use various types of motherboards and on
some of these motherboards, the primary drive is detected as wd1 if the
kernel is hard-wired.
Because of the variations in unit setup, the ideal solution for us is
not to change the fstab file or the kernel configuration file but rather
to have the on-board drives detected and mapped first before the drives
on the Promise card.
Do all these motherboards have onboard piixide devices? Maybe you can
hardwire atabus entries to piixide entries and then also hardwire wd
devices to them?
Kind regards
dieter
