Thank you. All my omap1 devices are in a rack using NFSroot or MMC so I can't test this. Seems like a good idea to me thoug, and does not cause merge conflicts. So if you want to queue this via along with other PATA related patches, please feel free to add: Acked-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> > arch/arm/configs/omap1_defconfig | 4 ++-- > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/arch/arm/configs/omap1_defconfig b/arch/arm/configs/omap1_defconfig > index 0c8a787..6ffc984 100644 > --- a/arch/arm/configs/omap1_defconfig > +++ b/arch/arm/configs/omap1_defconfig > @@ -96,14 +96,14 @@ CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y > CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y > CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=2 > CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=8192 > -CONFIG_IDE=m > -CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECS=m > CONFIG_SCSI=y > # CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS is not set > CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y > CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=y > CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y > CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y > +CONFIG_ATA=m > +CONFIG_PATA_PCMCIA=m > CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y > CONFIG_TUN=y > CONFIG_PHYLIB=y > -- > 1.9.1 >

IDE subsystem has been deprecated since 2009 and the majority (if not all) of Linux distributions have switched to use libata for ATA support exclusively. However there are still some users (mostly old or/and embedded non-x86 systems) that have not converted from using IDE subsystem to libata PATA drivers. This doesn't seem to be good thing in the long-term for Linux as while there is less and less PATA systems left in use: * testing efforts are divided between two subsystems * having duplicate drivers for same hardware confuses users This patch converts omap1_defconfig to use libata PATA drivers.
