I would like to use the ASUS P5A motherboard which is Alladin based
for some production machines.
- Where is the patch to allow the IDE drivers to work with the
alladin chipset? If anyone has a copy they could send me.
- Is this patch no longer necessary for some recent 2.2.x
kernel versions? Starting with which version?
- Will the driver work at all without the patch (i.e. in PIO mode
instead of DMA)? What is the performance hit? More importantly,
can one install a RedHat distribution before recompiling the
kernel? If we are just talking about 12MB/s vs 6MB/s transfer
rates, I am not concerned.
- Is the patched version stable?
