1005 depends on !ARM || ARCH_RPC || ARCH_SHARK || BROKEN
1006 help
1007 There are two drivers for MFM/RLL/IDE hard disks. Most people use
1008 the newer enhanced driver, but this old one is still around for two
1009 reasons. Some older systems have strange timing problems and seem to
1010 work only with the old driver (which itself does not work with some
1011 newer systems). The other reason is that the old driver is smaller,
1012 since it lacks the enhanced functionality of the new one. This makes
1013 it a good choice for systems with very tight memory restrictions, or
1014 for systems with only older MFM/RLL/ESDI drives. Choosing the old
1015 driver can save 13 KB or so of kernel memory.
1016
1017 If you want to use this driver together with the new one you have
1018 to use "hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe" kernel parameters to prevent the new
1019 driver from probing the primary interface.
1020
1021 If you are unsure, then just choose the Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL driver
1022 instead of this one. For more detailed information, read the
1023 Disk-HOWTO, available from
1024 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
