440 help
441 There are two drivers for MFM/RLL/IDE hard disks. Most people use
442 the newer enhanced driver, but this old one is still around for two
443 reasons. Some older systems have strange timing problems and seem to
444 work only with the old driver (which itself does not work with some
445 newer systems). The other reason is that the old driver is smaller,
446 since it lacks the enhanced functionality of the new one. This makes
447 it a good choice for systems with very tight memory restrictions, or
448 for systems with only older MFM/RLL/ESDI drives. Choosing the old
449 driver can save 13 KB or so of kernel memory.
450
451 If you want to use this driver together with the new one you have
452 to use "hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe" kernel parameters to prevent the new
453 driver from probing the primary interface.
454
455 If you are unsure, then just choose the Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL driver
456 instead of this one. For more detailed information, read the
457 Disk-HOWTO, available from
458 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
