Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO: Controllers (hard drive)
7. Controllers (hard drive)Linux will work with standard IDE, MFM and RLL controllers. When using
MFM/RLL controllers it is important to use ext2fs and the bad block
checking options when formatting the disk.Enhanced IDE (EIDE) interfaces are supported. With up to two IDE
interfaces and up to four hard drives and/or CD-ROM drives. Linux will
detect these EIDE interfaces:CMD-640DTC 2278DFGI/Holtek HT-6560BRZ1000Triton I (82371FB) (with busmaster DMA)Triton II (82371SB) (with busmaster DMA)ESDI controllers that emulate the ST-506 (MFM/RLL/IDE) interface will
also work. The bad block checking comment also applies to these controllers.Generic 8 bit XT controllers also work.Starting with pre-patch-2.0.31-3 IDE/ATAPI is provided.Other Controllers Supported:Tekram D690CD IDE PCI Cache Controller (with RAID level 1 Mirroring and caching)
