Other Help Topics :: Where is ide-disk.o ?

Does that file exist within the DSL heirarchy? Does it exist as a file or part of the kernel? Or is it embedded into the kernel?

- DSL 4.2.2

No, it does not exist in the filesystem --

Code Sample

find /lib/modules -name ide-disk.*

turns up nothing.
It should have been compiled into the kernel itself, rather than as a module.
Since ide-disk is a crucial driver, it could not have been omitted!

It is compiled in. Look at the config:

Code Sample

#
# IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
