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

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

386 tristate "Generic PCI IDE Chipset Support"
387 depends on BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
389 This option provides generic support for various PCI IDE Chipsets
390 which otherwise might not be supported.

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

455 tristate "ALI M15x3 chipset support"
457 This driver ensures (U)DMA support for ALI 1533, 1543 and 1543C
458 onboard chipsets. It also tests for Simplex mode and enables
459 normal dual channel support.
461 If you say Y here, you also need to say Y to "Use DMA by default
462 when available", above. Please read the comments at the top of
463 <file:drivers/ide/pci/alim15x3.c>.
468 bool "ALI M15x3 WDC support (DANGEROUS)"
469 depends on BLK_DEV_ALI15X3
471 This allows for UltraDMA support for WDC drives that ignore CRC
472 checking. You are a fool for enabling this option, but there have
473 been requests. DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOUR DRIVE HAS FS CORRUPTION, IF
474 YOU ENABLE THIS! No one will listen, just laugh for ignoring this

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

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

1068 There are two drivers for MFM/RLL/IDE hard disks. Most people use
1069 the newer enhanced driver, but this old one is still around for two
1070 reasons. Some older systems have strange timing problems and seem to
1071 work only with the old driver (which itself does not work with some
1072 newer systems). The other reason is that the old driver is smaller,
1073 since it lacks the enhanced functionality of the new one. This makes
1074 it a good choice for systems with very tight memory restrictions, or
1075 for systems with only older MFM/RLL/ESDI drives. Choosing the old
1076 driver can save 13 KB or so of kernel memory.
1078 If you are unsure, then just choose the Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL driver
1079 instead of this one. For more detailed information, read the
