In the 2.3.* tree, in drivers/block/ide.c, the drive_is_flashcard() function looks like: if (drive->removable && id != NULL) { if (id->config == 0x848a) return 1; ... so you can try adding that check to the 2.2.* kernel. You can also prevent the lockup (but not the delay before the drive is usable) by editing drivers/block/ide-probe.c and changing delay_50ms() to look like: static void delay_50ms (void) { current->state = TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE; schedule_timeout(HZ/20); } -- Dave
