Sorry, the following is from program 'lshw' -------------- *-ide description: IDE interface product: VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE vendor: VIA Technologies, Inc. -------------- So...you're complaining because everything worked? It's probably using the new libata PATA drivers instead of the old IDE drivers. (In reply to comment #2) > So...you're complaining because everything worked?

The libata drivers use the (much better) SCSI generic interfaces and SCSI framework in the kernel. Besides, it really was rather stupid, IMO, to have separate naming for IDE and SCSI disks. At any rate, this is intended behavior and won't be reverted. Thanks |
