As Richard B. Johnson <[email protected]> already mentioned, a regular
IDE interface has to be emulated. Somehow. Anyhow.

Yes, I never saw flash-based IDE devices, but they exist, that's true.
However, it's not necessarily what you have.
I think that IDE devices should be detected by kernel at boot-up.
You say that they are not. That's why I'm inclined to think
your flash memory is not IDEish.

What I also forgot to mention is, that it's a SmartMedia Flash Card I have here, which is told to always identify as a IDE device.


lsusb? Or if you have no lsusb, then:

# mount | grep usb
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)

Ohh, that's why lsusb never worked.. but you won't like the current result:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046a:002b Cherry GmbH  -->  Keyboard
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0451:2046 Texas Instruments, Inc. TUSB2046 Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  -->  What the..?


But I'm afraid I broke my SMC, while playing around with my disassembled T20, since GRUB hangs with 'GRUB _' without having changed anything in the software. D'oh!

That's why I can't test with 'USB Mass Storage' support in the kernel at the moment, which would probably uncover the mysterious '0000:0000' USB device. Gonna try again next week with a new SMC.

Cheers, milahu
