ARTOP
No reports, but nobody appears to be using one
The NSLU2-Linux project (http://www.nslu2-linux.org) relies on the
pata-artop driver for the arm/ixp4xx-based Iomega NAS100d and D-Link
DSM-G600 NAS devices (both of which are supported in recent mainline
kernels).
Latest kernels (2.6.22-rc5 is the latest we've tested) have no
reported
problems with pata-artop. We have a handful of people (including
myself) who we know are using 2.6.22-rc5 on those devices and are
booting from the internal drive using the pata-artop driver.
Though we have no reported problems, we are carrying a local patch to
the pata_artop driver:
http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/kernel/browser/trunk/patches/2.6.22/15-
nas100d-pata-artop-single-port.patch
This used to be because of a long delay when probing the non-existent
second ATA port on these embedded ARM devices, but the comment in the
patch has since been updated suggesting some negative interaction
with USB (??).
I don't have this machine so can't comment further on this issue,
