Support for ICH4

Will gentoo update the kernel source (gentoo-sources) to support the ICH4?
The gentoo-sources kernel currently cannot identify the IDE controller of ICH4.

Have this been confirmed? I was just on my way to buy such MB, no use if it not.

The current version of gentoo-source is based on 2.4.19-pre7-ac2. I found it cannot identify the ICH4. However, you may try mjc-source, it is based on 2.4.19-pre10-ac2, which support ICH4 and it works for me. :lol:

I use the xfs sourse at the moment, but on other hw, it's based on 2.4.18 though so I guess I'll have to give up xfs file systen then (pitty). Anyhow I have ordered parts to a new system including a ABIT GB7 mobo which are ICH4 so will try the mjc-source.

Is it possible to patch it with the xfs patch btw, anyone knows?

Well, probably... why not just try it?
