Which > configs are the old ide drivers and are they going to be maintained? I've never heard of any 15 partition limit. The old ide drivers are the CONFIG_IDE drivers that you'd have been using previously. They are likely to be maintained for the forseeable future. The libata PATA drivers are considered experimental and do not yet implement all the functionality and device support of the existing ide drivers. -- Raymond Lewis Rebbeck -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
