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>. | ||
