the ata_probe function is:
static struct kobject *ata_probe(dev_t dev, int *part, void *data)
{
ide_hwif_t *hwif = data;
int unit = *part >> PARTN_BITS;
ide_drive_t *drive = &hwif->drives[unit];
if (!drive->present)
return NULL;
if (drive->media == ide_disk)
request_module("ide-disk");
if (drive->scsi)
request_module("ide-scsi");
if (drive->media == ide_cdrom || drive->media == ide_optical)
request_module("ide-cd");
if (drive->media == ide_tape)
request_module("ide-tape");
if (drive->media == ide_floppy)
request_module("ide-floppy");
return NULL;
}
It will always return NULL, so it can't mount root device on boot time
in vmware, I don't know if it will work fine on other IDE disk. Is it
a problem?
