[Mageia-dev] Latest kernels vs IDE/libata

Hi all...
+
+I have a queston about an issue that should be decided by the 'thinkin
+minds' in the distro, that probably have have wider sight than me...
+
+I have some boxes with ide disks, that long tine ago were driven by
+the libata subsystem, as the pure PATA susbsytem is being slowly
+deprecated. Perhaps the kernel driver loading priorities have changed,
+perhaps before IDE was not builtin into kernel.
+But now, to get my IDE drove again by libata, I have to blacklist
+generic-ide and company.
+So I had to put a file ide.conf into modules.d like:
+
+blacklist ide-generic
+blacklist ide-pci-generic
+blacklist piix
+
+so ata_piix drives my ICH5 again.
+
+I think it is desirable, libata works much better than old IDE driver,
+all your drives are sdX, instead of mixing sdX for SATA and hdX for PATA,
+etc...
+
+Would it be desirable to have an ide-blacklist.conf file just to go
+migrating all working-ok-with-libata controllers to libata, and only
+leave pure PATA drivers for non supported oldies ?
+
+TIA
