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

98 config BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA
99 bool "Support for SATA (deprecated; conflicts with libata SATA driver)"
102 There are two drivers for Serial ATA controllers.
104 The main driver, "libata", exists inside the SCSI subsystem
105 and supports most modern SATA controllers.
107 The IDE driver (which you are currently configuring) supports
108 a few first-generation SATA controllers.
110 In order to eliminate conflicts between the two subsystems,
111 this config option enables the IDE driver's SATA support.
112 Normally this is disabled, as it is preferred that libata
113 supports SATA controllers, and this (IDE) driver supports
118 config BLK_DEV_HD_IDE
119 bool "Use old disk-only driver on primary interface"
120 depends on (X86 || SH_MPC1211)
122 There are two drivers for MFM/RLL/IDE disks. Most people use just
123 the new enhanced driver by itself. This option however installs the
124 old hard disk driver to control the primary IDE/disk interface in
125 the system, leaving the new enhanced IDE driver to take care of only
126 the 2nd/3rd/4th IDE interfaces. Doing this will prevent you from
127 having an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM or tape drive connected to the primary
128 IDE interface. Choosing this option may be useful for older systems
129 which have MFM/RLL/ESDI controller+drives at the primary port
130 address (0x1f0), along with IDE drives at the secondary/3rd/4th port
133 Normally, just say N here; you will then use the new driver for all
136 config BLK_DEV_IDEDISK
137 tristate "Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support"
139 This will include enhanced support for MFM/RLL/IDE hard disks. If
140 you have a MFM/RLL/IDE disk, and there is no special reason to use
141 the old hard disk driver instead, say Y. If you have an SCSI-only
142 system, you can say N here.
144 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
145 module will be called ide-disk.
146 Do not compile this driver as a module if your root file system
147 (the one containing the directory /) is located on the IDE disk.
151 config IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE
152 bool "Use multi-mode by default"
154 If you get this error, try to say Y here:
156 hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
157 hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
162 tristate "PCMCIA IDE support"
165 Support for outboard IDE disks, tape drives, and CD-ROM drives
166 connected through a PCMCIA card.
169 tristate "Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support"
171 If you have a CD-ROM drive using the ATAPI protocol, say Y. ATAPI is
172 a newer protocol used by IDE CD-ROM and TAPE drives, similar to the
173 SCSI protocol. Most new CD-ROM drives use ATAPI, including the
174 NEC-260, Mitsumi FX400, Sony 55E, and just about all non-SCSI
175 double(2X) or better speed drives.
177 If you say Y here, the CD-ROM drive will be identified at boot time
178 along with other IDE devices, as "hdb" or "hdc", or something
179 similar (check the boot messages with dmesg). If this is your only
180 CD-ROM drive, you can say N to all other CD-ROM options, but be sure
181 to say Y or M to "ISO 9660 CD-ROM file system support".
183 Note that older versions of LILO (LInux LOader) cannot properly deal
184 with IDE/ATAPI CD-ROMs, so install LILO 16 or higher, available from
185 <http://lilo.go.dyndns.org/>.
187 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
188 module will be called ide-cd.
190 config BLK_DEV_IDETAPE
191 tristate "Include IDE/ATAPI TAPE support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
192 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
194 If you have an IDE tape drive using the ATAPI protocol, say Y.
195 ATAPI is a newer protocol used by IDE tape and CD-ROM drives,
196 similar to the SCSI protocol. If you have an SCSI tape drive
197 however, you can say N here.
199 You should also say Y if you have an OnStream DI-30 tape drive; this
200 will not work with the SCSI protocol, until there is support for the
201 SC-30 and SC-50 versions.
203 If you say Y here, the tape drive will be identified at boot time
204 along with other IDE devices, as "hdb" or "hdc", or something
205 similar, and will be mapped to a character device such as "ht0"
206 (check the boot messages with dmesg). Be sure to consult the
207 <file:drivers/ide/ide-tape.c> and <file:Documentation/ide.txt> files
208 for usage information.
210 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
211 module will be called ide-tape.
213 config BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY
214 tristate "Include IDE/ATAPI FLOPPY support"
216 If you have an IDE floppy drive which uses the ATAPI protocol,
217 answer Y. ATAPI is a newer protocol used by IDE CD-ROM/tape/floppy
218 drives, similar to the SCSI protocol.
220 The LS-120 and the IDE/ATAPI Iomega ZIP drive are also supported by
221 this driver. For information about jumper settings and the question
222 of when a ZIP drive uses a partition table, see
223 <http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/zip/zip-1.html>.
224 (ATAPI PD-CD/CDR drives are not supported by this driver; support
225 for PD-CD/CDR drives is available if you answer Y to
226 "SCSI emulation support", below).
228 If you say Y here, the FLOPPY drive will be identified along with
229 other IDE devices, as "hdb" or "hdc", or something similar (check
230 the boot messages with dmesg).
232 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
233 module will be called ide-floppy.
235 config BLK_DEV_IDESCSI
236 tristate "SCSI emulation support"
239 WARNING: ide-scsi is no longer needed for cd writing applications!
240 The 2.6 kernel supports direct writing to ide-cd, which eliminates
241 the need for ide-scsi + the entire scsi stack just for writing a
242 cd. The new method is more efficient in every way.
244 This will provide SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices,
245 and will allow you to use a SCSI device driver instead of a native
248 This is useful if you have an ATAPI device for which no native
249 driver has been written (for example, an ATAPI PD-CD drive);
250 you can then use this emulation together with an appropriate SCSI
251 device driver. In order to do this, say Y here and to "SCSI support"
252 and "SCSI generic support", below. You must then provide the kernel
253 command line "hdx=ide-scsi" (try "man bootparam" or see the
254 documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to
255 pass options to the kernel at boot time) for devices if you want the
256 native EIDE sub-drivers to skip over the native support, so that
257 this SCSI emulation can be used instead.
259 Note that this option does NOT allow you to attach SCSI devices to a
260 box that doesn't have a SCSI host adapter installed.
262 If both this SCSI emulation and native ATAPI support are compiled
263 into the kernel, the native support will be used.
265 config IDE_TASK_IOCTL
266 bool "IDE Taskfile Access"
268 This is a direct raw access to the media. It is a complex but
269 elegant solution to test and validate the domain of the hardware and
270 perform below the driver data recover if needed. This is the most
271 basic form of media-forensics.
273 If you are unsure, say N here.
275 comment "IDE chipset support/bugfixes"
278 tristate "generic/default IDE chipset support"
283 config BLK_DEV_CMD640
284 bool "CMD640 chipset bugfix/support"
287 The CMD-Technologies CMD640 IDE chip is used on many common 486 and
288 Pentium motherboards, usually in combination with a "Neptune" or
289 "SiS" chipset. Unfortunately, it has a number of rather nasty
290 design flaws that can cause severe data corruption under many common
291 conditions. Say Y here to include code which tries to automatically
292 detect and correct the problems under Linux. This option also
293 enables access to the secondary IDE ports in some CMD640 based
296 This driver will work automatically in PCI based systems (most new
297 systems have PCI slots). But if your system uses VESA local bus
298 (VLB) instead of PCI, you must also supply a kernel boot parameter
299 to enable the CMD640 bugfix/support: "ide0=cmd640_vlb". (Try "man
300 bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about how to
301 pass options to the kernel.)
303 The CMD640 chip is also used on add-in cards by Acculogic, and on
304 the "CSA-6400E PCI to IDE controller" that some people have. For
305 details, read <file:Documentation/ide.txt>.
307 config BLK_DEV_CMD640_ENHANCED
308 bool "CMD640 enhanced support"
309 depends on BLK_DEV_CMD640
311 This option includes support for setting/autotuning PIO modes and
312 prefetch on CMD640 IDE interfaces. For details, read
313 <file:Documentation/ide.txt>. If you have a CMD640 IDE interface
314 and your BIOS does not already do this for you, then say Y here.
317 config BLK_DEV_IDEPNP
318 bool "PNP EIDE support"
321 If you have a PnP (Plug and Play) compatible EIDE card and
322 would like the kernel to automatically detect and activate
325 config BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
326 bool "PCI IDE chipset support" if PCI
327 default BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PMAC if PPC_PMAC && BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PMAC
329 Say Y here for PCI systems which use IDE drive(s).
330 This option helps the IDE driver to automatically detect and
331 configure all PCI-based IDE interfaces in your system.
333 config IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ
334 bool "Sharing PCI IDE interrupts support"
335 depends on PCI && BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
337 Some ATA/IDE chipsets have hardware support which allows for
338 sharing a single IRQ with other cards. To enable support for
339 this in the ATA/IDE driver, say Y here.
341 It is safe to say Y to this question, in most cases.
344 config BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD
345 bool "Boot off-board chipsets first support"
346 depends on PCI && BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
348 Normally, IDE controllers built into the motherboard (on-board
349 controllers) are assigned to ide0 and ide1 while those on add-in PCI
350 cards (off-board controllers) are relegated to ide2 and ide3.
351 Answering Y here will allow you to reverse the situation, with
352 off-board controllers on ide0/1 and on-board controllers on ide2/3.
353 This can improve the usability of some boot managers such as lilo
354 when booting from a drive on an off-board controller.
356 If you say Y here, and you actually want to reverse the device scan
357 order as explained above, you also need to issue the kernel command
358 line option "ide=reverse". (Try "man bootparam" or see the
359 documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to
360 pass options to the kernel at boot time.)
362 Note that, if you do this, the order of the hd* devices will be
363 rearranged which may require modification of fstab and other files.

379 tristate "RZ1000 chipset bugfix/support"
380 depends on PCI && BLK_DEV_IDEPCI && X86
382 The PC-Technologies RZ1000 IDE chip is used on many common 486 and
383 Pentium motherboards, usually along with the "Neptune" chipset.
384 Unfortunately, it has a rather nasty design flaw that can cause
385 severe data corruption under many conditions. Say Y here to include
386 code which automatically detects and corrects the problem under
387 Linux. This may slow disk throughput by a few percent, but at least
388 things will operate 100% reliably.
390 config BLK_DEV_SL82C105
391 tristate "Winbond SL82c105 support"
392 depends on PCI && (PPC || ARM) && BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
394 If you have a Winbond SL82c105 IDE controller, say Y here to enable
395 special configuration for this chip. This is common on various CHRP
396 motherboards, but could be used elsewhere. If in doubt, say Y.
398 config BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI
399 bool "Generic PCI bus-master DMA support"
400 depends on PCI && BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
402 If your PCI system uses IDE drive(s) (as opposed to SCSI, say) and
403 is capable of bus-master DMA operation (most Pentium PCI systems),
404 you will want to say Y here to reduce CPU overhead. You can then use
405 the "hdparm" utility to enable DMA for drives for which it was not
406 enabled automatically. By default, DMA is not enabled automatically
407 for these drives, but you can change that by saying Y to the
408 following question "Use DMA by default when available". You can get
409 the latest version of the hdparm utility from
410 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/hardware/>.
412 Read the comments at the beginning of <file:drivers/ide/ide-dma.c>

422 This is an old piece of lost code from Linux 2.0 Kernels.
424 Generally say N here.
426 config IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO
427 bool "Use PCI DMA by default when available"
429 Prior to kernel version 2.1.112, Linux used to automatically use
430 DMA for IDE drives and chipsets which support it. Due to concerns
431 about a couple of cases where buggy hardware may have caused damage,
432 the default is now to NOT use DMA automatically. To revert to the
433 previous behaviour, say Y to this question.
435 If you suspect your hardware is at all flakey, say N here.
436 Do NOT email the IDE kernel people regarding this issue!
438 It is normally safe to answer Y to this question unless your
439 motherboard uses a VIA VP2 chipset, in which case you should say N.

442 bool "Enable DMA only for disks "
443 depends on IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO
445 This is used if you know your ATAPI Devices are going to fail DMA
448 Generally say N here.

451 tristate "AEC62XX chipset support"
453 This driver adds explicit support for Acard AEC62xx (Artop ATP8xx)
454 IDE controllers. This allows the kernel to change PIO, DMA and UDMA
455 speeds and to configure the chip to optimum performance.
457 config BLK_DEV_ALI15X3
458 tristate "ALI M15x3 chipset support"
460 This driver ensures (U)DMA support for ALI 1533, 1543 and 1543C
461 onboard chipsets. It also tests for Simplex mode and enables
462 normal dual channel support.
464 If you say Y here, you also need to say Y to "Use DMA by default

472 depends on BLK_DEV_ALI15X3
474 This allows for UltraDMA support for WDC drives that ignore CRC
475 checking. You are a fool for enabling this option, but there have
476 been requests. DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOUR DRIVE HAS FS CORRUPTION, IF
477 YOU ENABLE THIS! No one will listen, just laugh for ignoring this
480 Using this option can allow WDC drives to run at ATA-4/5 transfer
481 rates with only an ATA-2 support structure.

486 tristate "AMD and nVidia IDE support"
488 This driver adds explicit support for AMD-7xx and AMD-8111 chips

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

658 depends on BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_OLD
660 This option causes the pdc202xx driver to enable UDMA modes on the
661 PDC202xx even when the PDC202xx BIOS has not done so.
663 It was originally designed for the PDC20246/Ultra33, whose BIOS will
664 only setup UDMA on the first two PDC20246 cards. It has also been
665 used succesfully on a PDC20265/Ultra100, allowing use of UDMA modes
666 when the PDC20265 BIOS has been disabled (for faster boot up).

883 This driver provides support for the so-called `IDE doublers' (made
884 by various manufacturers, e.g. Eyetech) that can be connected to the
885 builtin IDE interface of some Amiga models. Using such an IDE
886 doubler, you can connect up to four instead of two IDE devices on
887 the Amiga's builtin IDE interface.
889 Note that the normal Amiga Gayle IDE driver may not work correctly
890 if you have an IDE doubler and don't enable this driver!

984 This enhanced support may be necessary for Linux to be able to
985 access the 3rd/4th drives in some systems. It may also enable
986 setting of higher speed I/O rates to improve system performance with
987 these chipsets. Most of these also require special kernel boot
988 parameters to actually turn on the support at runtime; you can find

1079 depends on BLK_DEV_IDE=n
1081 There are two drivers for MFM/RLL/IDE hard disks. Most people use
1082 the newer enhanced driver, but this old one is still around for two
1083 reasons. Some older systems have strange timing problems and seem to
1084 work only with the old driver (which itself does not work with some
1085 newer systems). The other reason is that the old driver is smaller,
1086 since it lacks the enhanced functionality of the new one. This makes
1087 it a good choice for systems with very tight memory restrictions, or
1088 for systems with only older MFM/RLL/ESDI drives. Choosing the old
1089 driver can save 13 KB or so of kernel memory.
1091 If you are unsure, then just choose the Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL driver
1092 instead of this one. For more detailed information, read the
