           Summary: libata issues Promise FastTrack ATA100 Controller
                    (pdc202xx_old)
           Product: openSUSE 11.1
           Version: RC 1

         Component: Kernel

libata issues with old Promise ATA controllers are still outstanding.  This
caused my install to fail, and may prevent upgrade altogether if there's not a
workable pdc202xx_old module.

See Old Bugs for background information :

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=335505 (RESOLVED WONTFIX as
upstream bug)
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9337  (Appears to have no progress)


The work round of passing brokenmodules=pata_pdc202xx_old as a boot parameter,
does not work with install boot image CD.

Attempting a test install using a disk on Promise controller, failed, because
of the disk error (from SCIS layer) preventing alteration of the LVM stuff.

The legacy PATA drivers eg) pdc202xx_old are required, and usage of /dev/hdX
device rather than /dev/sdX routing around libata for these controllers.
