Hello List,

Somewhere in 2.6.x kernels, IDE disk configuration option IDE_DISK_STROKE  
(to achieve full native capacity of hard-disk drives sidestepping BIOS  
limitations) went and one could set this as boot time kernel options. But,  
as of kernel-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4,seems like this option was applied  
intelligently by the kernel.

I could not find how this has changed from then to 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4  
kernel either through online documentation or google. This kernel doesn't  
take it as a boot time option nor is it onfigurable in kernel compile  
settings. Does any body have any idea ?

Regards,

Parameshwara Bhat
