13 tristate "ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support"
15 If you say Y here, your kernel will be able to manage low cost mass
16 storage units such as ATA/(E)IDE and ATAPI units. The most common
17 cases are IDE hard drives and ATAPI CD-ROM drives.
19 If your system is pure SCSI and doesn't use these interfaces, you
22 Integrated Disk Electronics (IDE aka ATA-1) is a connecting standard
23 for mass storage units such as hard disks. It was designed by
24 Western Digital and Compaq Computer in 1984. It was then named
25 ST506. Quite a number of disks use the IDE interface.
27 AT Attachment (ATA) is the superset of the IDE specifications.
28 ST506 was also called ATA-1.
30 Fast-IDE is ATA-2 (also named Fast ATA), Enhanced IDE (EIDE) is
31 ATA-3. It provides support for larger disks (up to 8.4GB by means of
32 the LBA standard), more disks (4 instead of 2) and for other mass
33 storage units such as tapes and cdrom. UDMA/33 (aka UltraDMA/33) is
34 ATA-4 and provides faster (and more CPU friendly) transfer modes
35 than previous PIO (Programmed processor Input/Output) from previous
36 ATA/IDE standards by means of fast DMA controllers.
38 ATA Packet Interface (ATAPI) is a protocol used by EIDE tape and
39 CD-ROM drives, similar in many respects to the SCSI protocol.
41 SMART IDE (Self Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) was
42 designed in order to prevent data corruption and disk crash by
43 detecting pre hardware failure conditions (heat, access time, and
44 the like...). Disks built since June 1995 may follow this standard.
45 The kernel itself doesn't manage this; however there are quite a
46 number of user programs such as smart that can query the status of
47 SMART parameters from disk drives.
49 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
50 module will be called ide.
52 For further information, please read <file:Documentation/ide.txt>.
59 int "Max IDE interfaces"
60 depends on ALPHA || SUPERH || IA64 || EMBEDDED
64 This is the maximum number of IDE hardware interfaces that will
65 be supported by the driver. Make sure it is at least as high as
66 the number of IDE interfaces in your system.
69 tristate "Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support"
71 If you say Y here, you will use the full-featured IDE driver to
72 control up to ten ATA/IDE interfaces, each being able to serve a
73 "master" and a "slave" device, for a total of up to twenty ATA/IDE
74 disk/cdrom/tape/floppy drives.
76 Useful information about large (>540 MB) IDE disks, multiple
77 interfaces, what to do if ATA/IDE devices are not automatically
78 detected, sound card ATA/IDE ports, module support, and other
79 topics, is contained in <file:Documentation/ide.txt>. For detailed
80 information about hard drives, consult the Disk-HOWTO and the
81 Multi-Disk-HOWTO, available from
82 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
84 To fine-tune ATA/IDE drive/interface parameters for improved
85 performance, look for the hdparm package at
86 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/hardware/>.
88 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
89 <file:Documentation/ide.txt>. The module will be called ide-mod.
90 Do not compile this driver as a module if your root file system (the
91 one containing the directory /) is located on an IDE device.
93 If you have one or more IDE drives, say Y or M here. If your system
94 has no IDE drives, or if memory requirements are really tight, you
95 could say N here, and select the "Old hard disk driver" below
96 instead to save about 13 KB of memory in the kernel.

102 config BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA
103 bool "Support for SATA (deprecated; conflicts with libata SATA driver)"
106 There are two drivers for Serial ATA controllers.
108 The main driver, "libata", uses the SCSI subsystem
109 and supports most modern SATA controllers. In order to use it
110 you may take a look at "Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA
111 (experimental) drivers".
113 The IDE driver (which you are currently configuring) supports
114 a few first-generation SATA controllers.
116 In order to eliminate conflicts between the two subsystems,
117 this config option enables the IDE driver's SATA support.
118 Normally this is disabled, as it is preferred that libata
119 supports SATA controllers, and this (IDE) driver supports
124 config BLK_DEV_HD_IDE
125 bool "Use old disk-only driver on primary interface"
126 depends on (X86 || SH_MPC1211)
128 There are two drivers for MFM/RLL/IDE disks. Most people use just
129 the new enhanced driver by itself. This option however installs the
130 old hard disk driver to control the primary IDE/disk interface in
131 the system, leaving the new enhanced IDE driver to take care of only
132 the 2nd/3rd/4th IDE interfaces. Doing this will prevent you from
133 having an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM or tape drive connected to the primary
134 IDE interface. Choosing this option may be useful for older systems
135 which have MFM/RLL/ESDI controller+drives at the primary port
136 address (0x1f0), along with IDE drives at the secondary/3rd/4th port
139 Normally, just say N here; you will then use the new driver for all
142 config BLK_DEV_IDEDISK
143 tristate "Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support"
145 This will include enhanced support for MFM/RLL/IDE hard disks. If
146 you have a MFM/RLL/IDE disk, and there is no special reason to use
147 the old hard disk driver instead, say Y. If you have an SCSI-only
148 system, you can say N here.
150 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
151 module will be called ide-disk.
152 Do not compile this driver as a module if your root file system
153 (the one containing the directory /) is located on the IDE disk.
157 config IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE
158 bool "Use multi-mode by default"
160 If you get this error, try to say Y here:
162 hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
163 hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
168 tristate "PCMCIA IDE support"
171 Support for Compact Flash cards, outboard IDE disks, tape drives,
172 and CD-ROM drives connected through a PCMCIA card.
174 config BLK_DEV_DELKIN
175 tristate "Cardbus IDE support (Delkin/ASKA/Workbit)"
176 depends on CARDBUS && PCI
178 Support for Delkin, ASKA, and Workbit Cardbus CompactFlash
179 Adapters. This may also work for similar SD and XD adapters.
182 tristate "Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support"
184 If you have a CD-ROM drive using the ATAPI protocol, say Y. ATAPI is
185 a newer protocol used by IDE CD-ROM and TAPE drives, similar to the
186 SCSI protocol. Most new CD-ROM drives use ATAPI, including the
187 NEC-260, Mitsumi FX400, Sony 55E, and just about all non-SCSI
188 double(2X) or better speed drives.
190 If you say Y here, the CD-ROM drive will be identified at boot time
191 along with other IDE devices, as "hdb" or "hdc", or something
192 similar (check the boot messages with dmesg). If this is your only
193 CD-ROM drive, you can say N to all other CD-ROM options, but be sure
194 to say Y or M to "ISO 9660 CD-ROM file system support".
196 Note that older versions of LILO (LInux LOader) cannot properly deal
197 with IDE/ATAPI CD-ROMs, so install LILO 16 or higher, available from
198 <http://lilo.go.dyndns.org/>.
200 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
201 module will be called ide-cd.
203 config BLK_DEV_IDETAPE
204 tristate "Include IDE/ATAPI TAPE support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
205 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
207 If you have an IDE tape drive using the ATAPI protocol, say Y.
208 ATAPI is a newer protocol used by IDE tape and CD-ROM drives,
209 similar to the SCSI protocol. If you have an SCSI tape drive
210 however, you can say N here.
212 You should also say Y if you have an OnStream DI-30 tape drive; this
213 will not work with the SCSI protocol, until there is support for the
214 SC-30 and SC-50 versions.
216 If you say Y here, the tape drive will be identified at boot time
217 along with other IDE devices, as "hdb" or "hdc", or something
218 similar, and will be mapped to a character device such as "ht0"
219 (check the boot messages with dmesg). Be sure to consult the
220 <file:drivers/ide/ide-tape.c> and <file:Documentation/ide.txt> files
221 for usage information.
223 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
224 module will be called ide-tape.
226 config BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY
227 tristate "Include IDE/ATAPI FLOPPY support"
229 If you have an IDE floppy drive which uses the ATAPI protocol,
230 answer Y. ATAPI is a newer protocol used by IDE CD-ROM/tape/floppy
231 drives, similar to the SCSI protocol.
233 The LS-120 and the IDE/ATAPI Iomega ZIP drive are also supported by
234 this driver. For information about jumper settings and the question
235 of when a ZIP drive uses a partition table, see
236 <http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/zip/zip-1.html>.
237 (ATAPI PD-CD/CDR drives are not supported by this driver; support
238 for PD-CD/CDR drives is available if you answer Y to
239 "SCSI emulation support", below).
241 If you say Y here, the FLOPPY drive will be identified along with
242 other IDE devices, as "hdb" or "hdc", or something similar (check
243 the boot messages with dmesg).
245 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
246 module will be called ide-floppy.
248 config BLK_DEV_IDESCSI
249 tristate "SCSI emulation support"
252 WARNING: ide-scsi is no longer needed for cd writing applications!
253 The 2.6 kernel supports direct writing to ide-cd, which eliminates
254 the need for ide-scsi + the entire scsi stack just for writing a
255 cd. The new method is more efficient in every way.
257 This will provide SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices,
258 and will allow you to use a SCSI device driver instead of a native
261 This is useful if you have an ATAPI device for which no native
262 driver has been written (for example, an ATAPI PD-CD drive);
263 you can then use this emulation together with an appropriate SCSI
264 device driver. In order to do this, say Y here and to "SCSI support"
265 and "SCSI generic support", below. You must then provide the kernel
266 command line "hdx=ide-scsi" (try "man bootparam" or see the
267 documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to
268 pass options to the kernel at boot time) for devices if you want the
269 native EIDE sub-drivers to skip over the native support, so that
270 this SCSI emulation can be used instead.
272 Note that this option does NOT allow you to attach SCSI devices to a
273 box that doesn't have a SCSI host adapter installed.
275 If both this SCSI emulation and native ATAPI support are compiled
276 into the kernel, the native support will be used.
278 config BLK_DEV_IDEACPI
279 bool "IDE ACPI support"
282 Implement ACPI support for generic IDE devices. On modern
283 machines ACPI support is required to properly handle ACPI S3 states.
285 config IDE_TASK_IOCTL
286 bool "IDE Taskfile Access"
288 This is a direct raw access to the media. It is a complex but
289 elegant solution to test and validate the domain of the hardware and
290 perform below the driver data recovery if needed. This is the most
291 basic form of media-forensics.
293 If you are unsure, say N here.
296 bool "legacy /proc/ide/ support"
297 depends on IDE && PROC_FS
300 This option enables support for the various files in
301 /proc/ide. In Linux 2.6 this has been superseded by
302 files in sysfs but many legacy applications rely on this.
306 comment "IDE chipset support/bugfixes"
309 tristate "generic/default IDE chipset support"
314 config BLK_DEV_CMD640
315 bool "CMD640 chipset bugfix/support"
318 The CMD-Technologies CMD640 IDE chip is used on many common 486 and
319 Pentium motherboards, usually in combination with a "Neptune" or
320 "SiS" chipset. Unfortunately, it has a number of rather nasty
321 design flaws that can cause severe data corruption under many common
322 conditions. Say Y here to include code which tries to automatically
323 detect and correct the problems under Linux. This option also
324 enables access to the secondary IDE ports in some CMD640 based
327 This driver will work automatically in PCI based systems (most new
328 systems have PCI slots). But if your system uses VESA local bus
329 (VLB) instead of PCI, you must also supply a kernel boot parameter
330 to enable the CMD640 bugfix/support: "ide0=cmd640_vlb". (Try "man
331 bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about how to
332 pass options to the kernel.)
334 The CMD640 chip is also used on add-in cards by Acculogic, and on
335 the "CSA-6400E PCI to IDE controller" that some people have. For
336 details, read <file:Documentation/ide.txt>.
338 config BLK_DEV_CMD640_ENHANCED
339 bool "CMD640 enhanced support"
340 depends on BLK_DEV_CMD640
342 This option includes support for setting/autotuning PIO modes and
343 prefetch on CMD640 IDE interfaces. For details, read
344 <file:Documentation/ide.txt>. If you have a CMD640 IDE interface
345 and your BIOS does not already do this for you, then say Y here.
348 config BLK_DEV_IDEPNP
349 bool "PNP EIDE support"
352 If you have a PnP (Plug and Play) compatible EIDE card and
353 would like the kernel to automatically detect and activate
356 config BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
357 bool "PCI IDE chipset support" if PCI
358 default BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PMAC if PPC_PMAC && BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PMAC
360 Say Y here for PCI systems which use IDE drive(s).
361 This option helps the IDE driver to automatically detect and
362 configure all PCI-based IDE interfaces in your system.
364 config IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ
365 bool "Sharing PCI IDE interrupts support"
366 depends on PCI && BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
368 Some ATA/IDE chipsets have hardware support which allows for
369 sharing a single IRQ with other cards. To enable support for
370 this in the ATA/IDE driver, say Y here.
372 It is safe to say Y to this question, in most cases.
375 config IDEPCI_PCIBUS_ORDER
376 def_bool PCI && BLK_DEV_IDE=y && BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
378 config BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD
379 bool "Boot off-board chipsets first support"
380 depends on PCI && BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
382 Normally, IDE controllers built into the motherboard (on-board
383 controllers) are assigned to ide0 and ide1 while those on add-in PCI
384 cards (off-board controllers) are relegated to ide2 and ide3.
385 Answering Y here will allow you to reverse the situation, with
386 off-board controllers on ide0/1 and on-board controllers on ide2/3.
387 This can improve the usability of some boot managers such as lilo
388 when booting from a drive on an off-board controller.
390 If you say Y here, and you actually want to reverse the device scan
391 order as explained above, you also need to issue the kernel command
392 line option "ide=reverse". (Try "man bootparam" or see the
393 documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to
394 pass options to the kernel at boot time.)
396 Note that, if you do this, the order of the hd* devices will be
397 rearranged which may require modification of fstab and other files.

402 tristate "Generic PCI IDE Chipset Support"
403 depends on BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
405 This option provides generic support for various PCI IDE Chipsets
406 which otherwise might not be supported.

419 The PC-Technologies RZ1000 IDE chip is used on many common 486 and
420 Pentium motherboards, usually along with the "Neptune" chipset.
421 Unfortunately, it has a rather nasty design flaw that can cause
422 severe data corruption under many conditions. Say Y here to include
423 code which automatically detects and corrects the problem under
424 Linux. This may slow disk throughput by a few percent, but at least
425 things will operate 100% reliably.
427 config BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI
428 bool "Generic PCI bus-master DMA support"
429 depends on PCI && BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
431 If your PCI system uses IDE drive(s) (as opposed to SCSI, say) and
432 is capable of bus-master DMA operation (most Pentium PCI systems),
433 you will want to say Y here to reduce CPU overhead. You can then use
434 the "hdparm" utility to enable DMA for drives for which it was not
435 enabled automatically. By default, DMA is not enabled automatically
436 for these drives, but you can change that by saying Y to the
437 following question "Use DMA by default when available". You can get
438 the latest version of the hdparm utility from
439 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/hardware/>.
441 Read the comments at the beginning of <file:drivers/ide/ide-dma.c>

464 tristate "AEC62XX chipset support"
466 This driver adds explicit support for Acard AEC62xx (Artop ATP8xx)
467 IDE controllers. This allows the kernel to change PIO, DMA and UDMA
468 speeds and to configure the chip to optimum performance.
470 config BLK_DEV_ALI15X3
471 tristate "ALI M15x3 chipset support"
473 This driver ensures (U)DMA support for ALI 1533, 1543 and 1543C
474 onboard chipsets. It also tests for Simplex mode and enables
475 normal dual channel support.
477 If you say Y here, you also need to say Y to "Use DMA by default
478 when available", above. Please read the comments at the top of
479 <file:drivers/ide/pci/alim15x3.c>.
484 bool "ALI M15x3 WDC support (DANGEROUS)"
485 depends on BLK_DEV_ALI15X3
487 This allows for UltraDMA support for WDC drives that ignore CRC
488 checking. You are a fool for enabling this option, but there have
489 been requests. DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOUR DRIVE HAS FS CORRUPTION, IF
490 YOU ENABLE THIS! No one will listen, just laugh for ignoring this
493 Using this option can allow WDC drives to run at ATA-4/5 transfer
494 rates with only an ATA-2 support structure.

654 This driver adds up to 4 more EIDE devices sharing a single
655 interrupt. This add-on card is a bootable PCI UDMA controller. Since
656 multiple cards can be installed and there are BIOS ROM problems that
657 happen if the BIOS revisions of all installed cards (three-max) do
658 not match, the driver attempts to do dynamic tuning of the chipset
659 at boot-time for max-speed. Ultra33 BIOS 1.25 or newer is required
660 for more than one card. This card may require that you say Y to

675 This option causes the pdc202xx driver to enable UDMA modes on the
676 PDC202xx even when the PDC202xx BIOS has not done so.
678 It was originally designed for the PDC20246/Ultra33, whose BIOS will
679 only setup UDMA on the first two PDC20246 cards. It has also been
680 used successfully on a PDC20265/Ultra100, allowing use of UDMA modes
681 when the PDC20265 BIOS has been disabled (for faster boot up).

743 SMsC with Intel NorthBridges. This is an Ultra66 based chipset.
744 The nice thing about it is that you can mix Ultra/DMA/PIO devices
745 and it will handle timing cycles. Since this is an improved

890 by various manufacturers, e.g. Eyetech) that can be connected to the
891 builtin IDE interface of some Amiga models. Using such an IDE
892 doubler, you can connect up to four instead of two IDE devices on
893 the Amiga's builtin IDE interface.
895 Note that the normal Amiga Gayle IDE driver may not work correctly
896 if you have an IDE doubler and don't enable this driver!

989 then pick your particular IDE chip from among the following options.
990 This enhanced support may be necessary for Linux to be able to
991 access the 3rd/4th drives in some systems. It may also enable
992 setting of higher speed I/O rates to improve system performance with
993 these chipsets. Most of these also require special kernel boot
994 parameters to actually turn on the support at runtime; you can find
995 a list of these in the file <file:Documentation/ide.txt>.

1081 bool "Old hard disk (MFM/RLL/IDE) driver"
1082 depends on BLK_DEV_IDE=n
1084 There are two drivers for MFM/RLL/IDE hard disks. Most people use
1085 the newer enhanced driver, but this old one is still around for two
1086 reasons. Some older systems have strange timing problems and seem to
1087 work only with the old driver (which itself does not work with some
1088 newer systems). The other reason is that the old driver is smaller,
1089 since it lacks the enhanced functionality of the new one. This makes
1090 it a good choice for systems with very tight memory restrictions, or
1091 for systems with only older MFM/RLL/ESDI drives. Choosing the old
1092 driver can save 13 KB or so of kernel memory.
1094 If you are unsure, then just choose the Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL driver
1095 instead of this one. For more detailed information, read the
