Hi all.
I like to rereport that the IDE Controllers get strange device-
node-number in Linux-2.4 (currently vanilla 2.4.16) at least using DevFS.
I reported (~a year ago) that when I disable the primary channel of the
on-board controller of the Asus-K7M (Irongate based) the second channel
will be host1 - no host0 can be found.
My today's issue is our K6-2 based server with an Gigabyte Ali-Aladin5
board. The on-board controller is host0 but the additional Promisse
TX2 Ultra100 will be host2 ??? no host1 there ... :
server1:~ # l /dev/ide/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 ..
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 host0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 host2

It is really odd to see the Linux kernel mangling this different on each
Workstation ...
