Re: EXT_DIRECT IDE Mode

David,

The EXT_DIRECT item is already there in the configuration menu.  I

thought

it has been fully implemented in that version, until I saw the functions
are not being called in platform_init.

Base on your knowledge, which kernel version has this mode (MPC8xx IDE)
fully working?

Hmm. I'd say it started somewhen at 2.4.20.

And do you know the work involved in porting the support to 2.4.18?  I am
gauging which is the easier route moving all the changes I have already
made to 2.4.2x or porting the changes to 2.4.18.

I don't know how much changes you did. But I strongly recommend moving
to something newer! Otherwise you only get this advice later if you
run into some other problem and try to get help on the mailing list!

Steven
