Why standard Centos 5.2 kernel does not have a module "pata_via." I have an old motherboard and IDE drive. The standard kernel does not work. Kernel include a module "pata_via" only in centosplus. It is a bug?
pata_via is not enabled in the upstream kernel, not just 5.2 but in earlier versions as well. It is the upstream' decision. CentOS users are fortunate because Johnny Hughes offers the centosplus kernel in which a number of modules are turned on to provide wider hardware support.
