get the ide patches from www.linux-ide.org or install the below package: aphro:~# apt-cache show kernel-image-2.2.17-ide Package: kernel-image-2.2.17-ide Priority: optional Section: base Installed-Size: 11825 Maintainer: Herbert Xu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Source: kernel-image-2.2.17-i386 Version: 2.2.17pre6-1 Provides: kernel-image Depends: fileutils (>= 4.0) Suggests: lilo (>= 19.1), fdutils, kernel-doc-2.2.17 Filename: dists/potato/main/binary-i386/base/kernel-image-2.2.17-ide_2.2.17pre6-1.deb Size: 4999342 MD5sum: 49e526295815cec97fabe9c067c1c059 Description: Linux kernel binary image for version 2.2.17. This package contains the Linux kernel image for version 2.2.17, the corresponding System.map file, and the modules built by the packager. It also contains scripts that try to ensure that the system is not left in a unbootable state after an update. . If you wish to update a bootdisk, or to use a bootloader to make installing and using the image easier, we suggest you install the latest fdutils (for formatting a floppy to be used as boot disk), and LILO, for a powerful bootloader. Of course, both these are optional. . Kernel image packages are generally produced using kernel-package, and it is suggested that you install that package if you wish to create a custom kernel from the sources. . This kernel image was compiled with the UDMA66 patch from Andre Hedrick patch applied. If you have an IDE controller which requires this patch, such as the Promise Ultra66, you need to select this patch rather than the vanilla kernel-image package. -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
