Description Danny van der Meeren 2006-02-22 10:26:45 UTC

The via vt6410 ide controller onboard of my msi 915 neo2 mainboard is not supported in the default kernel, I have created a patch which will enable support for the vt6410 device in the via82cxxx module.

tested on suse kernel 2.6.13-15

original source code grabbed from vanilla 2.6.15 kernel (http://www.kernel.org) I only created a patch which worked on my current suse kernel.

updated files:
- include/linux/pci_ids.h
- drivers/ide/pci/via82cxxx.c

Patch can be found at: http://www.illogic.nl/vt6410/index.html

Tested and is working fine as dual channel IDE controller (via vt6410 is a software raid controller, via drivers for newer raid controllers are using dm)


Cheers Danny

OK at first: Product openSUSE.org is for the Wiki at opensuse.org only, for SUSE Linux choose `SUSE Linux X.X'. I suppose we are talking about 10.0, I'll correct that.

Reassigning to the kernel maintainers for a descision, maby this patch could be offered as an optional YOU-update?

No, we're not doing any hardware updates for released products.
Sorry!

Comment 4 Danny van der Meeren 2006-02-22 13:19:18 UTC

Can it be reopened for a new release then or is the harware already planned to support, this is not the most top of the edge hardware?

Comment 5 Olaf Kirch 2006-02-22 15:43:19 UTC

Danny, it seems this patch is in mainline as of 2.6.16-rc-whatnot.
In this case, it will be supported in 10.1 aka SLES10.
