Description Ingo Korb 2005-07-07 17:15:27 UTC

The Install-CD does not include the siimage-Module for CMD/Silicon Image IDE
controllers. As there are PCI-cards using those chips it should IMHO be included
because otherwise installation may be impossible due to an inaccessible target
drive.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




System: Apple WGS 7350 with SiI680-based PCI-IDE-Controller

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE is included as a module (and so in the initramfs) for the
next release.
