Procedure to "repair" SvkWrks CSB5 ide controller with Rh kernels.



I've tried the last 4 redhat kernels and none of them would properly configure my ServerWorks CSb5 IDe controller. If you suffer from the following messages:
 
Oct 27 03:12:56 staff kernel: PCI: Device 00:0f.1 not available because of resource collisions
Oct 27 03:12:56 staff kernel: SvrWks CSB5: (ide_setup_pci_device:) Could not enable device.
 
This procedure is for you.  The goal of this procedure is to edit pci-i386.c and remove the IDE test in 
pcibios_assign_resources.  This will ensure proper configuration of your IDE controller.
 
 
 
1.  Obtain the kernel source code you are using or want to upgrade to.  Extract it fully.
 
2.  Edit /usr/src/linux (your source)/arch/i386/kernel/pci-i386.c
 
3.  Locate the line that has: PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_IDE  and change it to reflect the following:
 
  /* (class == PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_IDE && idx < 4) || */
if ((class == PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA && (r->flags & IORESOURCE_IO)))
 
4.  Save and recompile your kernel.
 
Now your device will work:
 
Oct 29 08:34:44 staff kernel: ServerWorks CSB5: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 79
Oct 29 08:34:44 staff kernel: ServerWorks CSB5: chipset revision 146
Oct 29 08:34:44 staff kernel: ServerWorks CSB5: not 100%% native mode: will probe irqs later
