ide-generic.probe-mask= [HW] (E)IDE subsystem
Format: <int>
Probe mask for legacy ISA IDE ports. Depending on
platform up to 6 ports are supported, enabled by
setting corresponding bits in the mask to 1. The
default value is 0x0, which has a special meaning.
On systems that have PCI, it triggers scanning the
PCI bus for the first and the second port, which
are then probed. On systems without PCI the value
of 0x0 enables probing the two first ports as if it
was 0x3.
ide-pci-generic.all-generic-ide [HW] (E)IDE subsystem
Claim all unknown PCI IDE storage controllers.
