to the first ATA interface found on the particular host, and the defaults for
the base,ctl ports must not be altered.
- "ide0=dtc2278" : probe/support DTC2278 interface
- "ide0=ht6560b" : probe/support HT6560B interface
"ide0=cmd640_vlb" : *REQUIRED* for VLB cards with the CMD640 chip
(not for PCI -- automatically detected)
- "ide0=qd65xx" : probe/support qd65xx interface
- "ide0=ali14xx" : probe/support ali14xx chipsets (ALI M1439/M1443/M1445)
- "ide0=umc8672" : probe/support umc8672 chipsets
"ide=doubler" : probe/support IDE doublers on Amiga
Everything else is rejected with a "BAD OPTION" message.
+For legacy IDE VLB host drivers (ali14xx/dtc2278/ht6560b/qd65xx/umc8672)
+you need to explicitly enable probing by using "probe" kernel parameter,
+i.e. to enable probing for ALI M14xx chipsets (ali14xx host driver) use:
+
+* "ali14xx.probe" boot option when ali14xx driver is built-in the kernel
+
+* "probe" module parameter when ali14xx driver is compiled as module
+ ("modprobe ali14xx probe")
