MPIIX is totally different PCI identifiers so a different driver. It is
unrelated to any goings on here.
Ok, but my nforce board works just fine with pata hdd's but doesn't with
atapi devices on the pata bus, which is what his message was in
reference to. So forget about piix and such, how are you _supposed_ to
get atapi devices seen on the pata drivers (assuming they're functioning
at all on the pata drivers) so those that are testing these drivers can
make bug reports about them not working, instead of just possibly
getting the configuration wrong.
No mention of atapi was made in the last patch / status report so i take
it You're under the assumption that atapi is _supposed_ to be working in
pata (at least the drives should be initialized and brought up).
So if any info is needed, just mention what it is... the drivers have
been rock solid so far for my sata and pata hdds. I'd like to continue
testing with the atapi drive detected because I can't have both ide and
pata drivers loaded at the same time, and switching between the two
changes device names around.
