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 If you want to compile this driver as a module ( = code which can be
47 inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),

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.

68 tristate "Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support"
71 If you say Y here, you will use the full-featured IDE driver to
72 control up to ten ATA/IDE interfaces, each being able to serve a
73 "master" and a "slave" device, for a total of up to twenty ATA/IDE
74 disk/cdrom/tape/floppy drives.
76 Useful information about large (>540 MB) IDE disks, multiple
77 interfaces, what to do if ATA/IDE devices are not automatically
78 detected, sound card ATA/IDE ports, module support, and other
79 topics, is contained in <file:Documentation/ide.txt>. For detailed
80 information about hard drives, consult the Disk-HOWTO and the
81 Multi-Disk-HOWTO, available from
82 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
84 To fine-tune ATA/IDE drive/interface parameters for improved
85 performance, look for the hdparm package at

88 If you want to compile this driver as a module ( = code which can be
89 inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
90 say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt> and

92 Do not compile this driver as a module if your root file system (the
93 one containing the directory /) is located on an IDE device.
95 If you have one or more IDE drives, say Y or M here. If your system
96 has no IDE drives, or if memory requirements are really tight, you
97 could say N here, and select the "Old hard disk driver" below
98 instead to save about 13 KB of memory in the kernel.

104 depends on BLK_DEV_IDE && X86 && X86_PC9800!=y
106 There are two drivers for MFM/RLL/IDE disks. Most people use just
107 the new enhanced driver by itself. This option however installs the
108 old hard disk driver to control the primary IDE/disk interface in
109 the system, leaving the new enhanced IDE driver to take care of only
110 the 2nd/3rd/4th IDE interfaces. Doing this will prevent you from
111 having an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM or tape drive connected to the primary
112 IDE interface. Choosing this option may be useful for older systems
113 which have MFM/RLL/ESDI controller+drives at the primary port
114 address (0x1f0), along with IDE drives at the secondary/3rd/4th port

145 depends on BLK_DEV_IDE
147 This will include enhanced support for MFM/RLL/IDE hard disks. If
148 you have a MFM/RLL/IDE disk, and there is no special reason to use
149 the old hard disk driver instead, say Y. If you have an SCSI-only
150 system, you can say N here.
152 If you want to compile this driver as a module ( = code which can be
153 inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
154 say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
155 will be called ide-disk. Do not compile this driver as a module

174 Should you have a system w/ an AWARD Bios and your drives are larger
175 than 32GB and it will not boot, one is required to perform a few OEM
176 operations first. The option is called "STROKE" because it allows
177 one to "soft clip" the drive to work around a barrier limit. For
178 Maxtor drives it is called "jumpon.exe". Please search Maxtor's
179 web-site for "JUMPON.EXE". IBM has a similar tool at:

188 Support for outboard IDE disks, tape drives, and CD-ROM drives
189 connected through a PCMCIA card.
192 tristate "Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support"
193 depends on BLK_DEV_IDE
195 If you have a CD-ROM drive using the ATAPI protocol, say Y. ATAPI is
196 a newer protocol used by IDE CD-ROM and TAPE drives, similar to the
197 SCSI protocol. Most new CD-ROM drives use ATAPI, including the
198 NEC-260, Mitsumi FX400, Sony 55E, and just about all non-SCSI
199 double(2X) or better speed drives.
201 If you say Y here, the CD-ROM drive will be identified at boot time
202 along with other IDE devices, as "hdb" or "hdc", or something
203 similar (check the boot messages with dmesg). If this is your only
204 CD-ROM drive, you can say N to all other CD-ROM options, but be sure
205 to say Y or M to "ISO 9660 CD-ROM file system support".
207 Note that older versions of LILO (LInux LOader) cannot properly deal
208 with IDE/ATAPI CD-ROMs, so install LILO 16 or higher, available from
209 <ftp://brun.dyndns.org/pub/linux/lilo/>.
211 If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
212 inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),

221 If you have an IDE floppy drive which uses the ATAPI protocol,
222 answer Y. ATAPI is a newer protocol used by IDE CD-ROM/tape/floppy
223 drives, similar to the SCSI protocol.
225 The LS-120 and the IDE/ATAPI Iomega ZIP drive are also supported by
226 this driver. For information about jumper settings and the question
227 of when a ZIP drive uses a partition table, see
228 <http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/zip/zip-1.html>.
229 (ATAPI PD-CD/CDR drives are not supported by this driver; support
230 for PD-CD/CDR drives is available if you answer Y to
231 "SCSI emulation support", below).
233 If you say Y here, the FLOPPY drive will be identified along with
234 other IDE devices, as "hdb" or "hdc", or something similar (check
235 the boot messages with dmesg).
237 If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
238 inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
239 say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
240 will be called ide-floppy.
242 config BLK_DEV_IDESCSI
243 tristate "SCSI emulation support"
244 depends on BLK_DEV_IDE && SCSI
246 This will provide SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices,
247 and will allow you to use a SCSI device driver instead of a native
250 This is useful if you have an ATAPI device for which no native
251 driver has been written (for example, an ATAPI PD-CD or CDR drive);
252 you can then use this emulation together with an appropriate SCSI
253 device driver. In order to do this, say Y here and to "SCSI support"
254 and "SCSI generic support", below. You must then provide the kernel
255 command line "hdx=ide-scsi" (try "man bootparam" or see the
256 documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to
257 pass options to the kernel at boot time) for devices if you want the
258 native EIDE sub-drivers to skip over the native support, so that
259 this SCSI emulation can be used instead. This is required for use of
262 Note that this option does NOT allow you to attach SCSI devices to a
263 box that doesn't have a SCSI host adapter installed.
265 If both this SCSI emulation and native ATAPI support are compiled
266 into the kernel, the native support will be used.
268 config IDE_TASK_IOCTL
269 bool "IDE Taskfile Access"
270 depends on BLK_DEV_IDE
272 This is a direct raw access to the media. It is a complex but
273 elegant solution to test and validate the domain of the hardware and
274 perform below the driver data recover if needed. This is the most
275 basic form of media-forensics.
277 If you are unsure, say N here.
279 config IDE_TASKFILE_IO
280 bool 'IDE Taskfile IO'

292 bool "CMD640 chipset bugfix/support"
293 depends on BLK_DEV_IDE && X86
295 The CMD-Technologies CMD640 IDE chip is used on many common 486 and
296 Pentium motherboards, usually in combination with a "Neptune" or
297 "SiS" chipset. Unfortunately, it has a number of rather nasty
298 design flaws that can cause severe data corruption under many common
299 conditions. Say Y here to include code which tries to automatically
300 detect and correct the problems under Linux. This option also
301 enables access to the secondary IDE ports in some CMD640 based
304 This driver will work automatically in PCI based systems (most new
305 systems have PCI slots). But if your system uses VESA local bus
306 (VLB) instead of PCI, you must also supply a kernel boot parameter
307 to enable the CMD640 bugfix/support: "ide0=cmd640_vlb". (Try "man
308 bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about how to
309 pass options to the kernel.)
311 The CMD640 chip is also used on add-in cards by Acculogic, and on
312 the "CSA-6400E PCI to IDE controller" that some people have. For
313 details, read <file:Documentation/ide.txt>.
315 config BLK_DEV_CMD640_ENHANCED
316 bool "CMD640 enhanced support"
317 depends on BLK_DEV_CMD640
319 This option includes support for setting/autotuning PIO modes and
320 prefetch on CMD640 IDE interfaces. For details, read
321 <file:Documentation/ide.txt>. If you have a CMD640 IDE interface
322 and your BIOS does not already do this for you, then say Y here.

350 Some ATA/IDE chipsets have hardware support which allows for
351 sharing a single IRQ with other cards. To enable support for
352 this in the ATA/IDE driver, say Y here.
354 It is safe to say Y to this question, in most cases.
357 config BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI
358 bool "Generic PCI bus-master DMA support"
359 depends on PCI && BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
361 If your PCI system uses IDE drive(s) (as opposed to SCSI, say) and
362 is capable of bus-master DMA operation (most Pentium PCI systems),
363 you will want to say Y here to reduce CPU overhead. You can then use
364 the "hdparm" utility to enable DMA for drives for which it was not
365 enabled automatically. By default, DMA is not enabled automatically
366 for these drives, but you can change that by saying Y to the
367 following question "Use DMA by default when available". You can get
368 the latest version of the hdparm utility from
369 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/hardware/>.
371 Read the comments at the beginning of <file:drivers/ide/ide-dma.c>

377 bool "ATA tagged command queueing (EXPERIMENTAL)"
378 depends on BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
380 Support for tagged command queueing on ATA disk drives. This enables
381 the IDE layer to have multiple in-flight requests on hardware that
382 supports it. For now this includes the IBM Deskstar series drives,
383 such as the 22GXP, 75GXP, 40GV, 60GXP, and 120GXP (ie any Deskstar made
384 in the last couple of years), and at least some of the Western

394 Enable tagged command queueing unconditionally on drives that report
395 support for it. Regardless of the chosen value here, tagging can be
396 controlled at run time:
398 echo "using_tcq:32" > /proc/ide/hdX/settings
400 where any value between 1-32 selects chosen queue depth and enables
401 TCQ, and 0 disables it. hdparm version 4.7 an above also support

407 int "Default queue depth"
408 depends on BLK_DEV_IDE_TCQ
411 Maximum size of commands to enable per-drive. Any value between 1
412 and 32 is valid, with 32 being the maxium that the hardware supports.
414 You probably just want the default of 32 here. If you enter an invalid
415 number, the default value will be used.
417 config BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD
418 bool "Boot off-board chipsets first support"
419 depends on PCI && BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
421 Normally, IDE controllers built into the motherboard (on-board
422 controllers) are assigned to ide0 and ide1 while those on add-in PCI
423 cards (off-board controllers) are relegated to ide2 and ide3.
424 Answering Y here will allow you to reverse the situation, with
425 off-board controllers on ide0/1 and on-board controllers on ide2/3.
426 This can improve the usability of some boot managers such as lilo
427 when booting from a drive on an off-board controller.
429 If you say Y here, and you actually want to reverse the device scan
430 order as explained above, you also need to issue the kernel command
431 line option "ide=reverse". (Try "man bootparam" or see the
432 documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to
433 pass options to the kernel at boot time.)
435 Note that, if you do this, the order of the hd* devices will be
436 rearranged which may require modification of fstab and other files.

449 bool "Use PCI DMA by default when available"
450 depends on BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI
452 Prior to kernel version 2.1.112, Linux used to automatically use
453 DMA for IDE drives and chipsets which support it. Due to concerns
454 about a couple of cases where buggy hardware may have caused damage,
455 the default is now to NOT use DMA automatically. To revert to the
456 previous behaviour, say Y to this question.
458 If you suspect your hardware is at all flakey, say N here.
459 Do NOT email the IDE kernel people regarding this issue!
461 It is normally safe to answer Y to this question unless your
462 motherboard uses a VIA VP2 chipset, in which case you should say N.

519 onboard chipsets. It also tests for Simplex mode and enables
520 normal dual channel support.

532 This allows for UltraDMA support for WDC drives that ignore CRC
533 checking. You are a fool for enabling this option, but there have
534 been requests. DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOUR DRIVE HAS FS CORRUPTION, IF
535 YOU ENABLE THIS! No one will listen, just laugh for ignoring this

1072 There are two drivers for MFM/RLL/IDE hard disks. Most people use

1074 reasons. Some older systems have strange timing problems and seem to
1075 work only with the old driver (which itself does not work with some
1076 newer systems). The other reason is that the old driver is smaller,
1077 since it lacks the enhanced functionality of the new one. This makes
1078 it a good choice for systems with very tight memory restrictions, or
1079 for systems with only older MFM/RLL/ESDI drives. Choosing the old
