- If you say Y here, you will use the full-featured IDE driver to
- control up to ten ATA/IDE interfaces, each being able to serve a
- "master" and a "slave" device, for a total of up to twenty ATA/IDE
- disk/cdrom/tape/floppy drives.
-
- Useful information about large (>540 MB) IDE disks, multiple
- interfaces, what to do if ATA/IDE devices are not automatically
- detected, sound card ATA/IDE ports, module support, and other
- topics, is contained in <file:Documentation/ide/ide.txt>. For detailed
- information about hard drives, consult the Disk-HOWTO and the
- Multi-Disk-HOWTO, available from
- <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
-
- To fine-tune ATA/IDE drive/interface parameters for improved
- performance, look for the hdparm package at
- <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/hardware/>.
-
- To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
- <file:Documentation/ide/ide.txt>. The module will be called ide-mod.
- Do not compile this driver as a module if your root file system (the
- one containing the directory /) is located on an IDE device.
-
- If you have one or more IDE drives, say Y or M here. If your system
- has no IDE drives, or if memory requirements are really tight, you
- could say N here, and select the "Old hard disk driver" below
- instead to save about 13 KB of memory in the kernel.

-config IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE
- bool "Use multiple sector mode for Programmed Input/Output by default"
- help
- This setting is irrelevant for most IDE disks, with direct memory
- access, to which multiple sector mode does not apply. Multiple sector
- mode is a feature of most modern IDE hard drives, permitting the
- transfer of multiple sectors per Programmed Input/Output interrupt,
- rather than the usual one sector per interrupt. When this feature is
- enabled, it can reduce operating system overhead for disk Programmed
- Input/Output. On some systems, it also can increase the data
- throughput of Programmed Input/Output. Some drives, however, seemed
- to run slower with multiple sector mode enabled. Some drives claimed
- to support multiple sector mode, but lost data at some settings.
- Under rare circumstances, such failures could result in massive
- filesystem corruption.

+ This is the generic IDE driver. This driver attaches to the

+ kernel or loaded before other ATA (IDE or libata) drivers
+ and the controller is located at legacy ports, this driver
+ may grab those ports and thus can prevent the controller
+ specific driver from attaching.
+
+ Also, currently, IDE generic doesn't allow IRQ sharing
+ meaning that the IRQs it grabs won't be available to other
+ controllers sharing those IRQs which usually makes drivers
+ for those controllers fail. Generally, it's not a good idea
