I've never heard of any 15 partition limit. The old ide drivers are the |
| 41 |
CONFIG_IDE drivers that you'd have been using previously. They are likely to |
| 42 |
be maintained for the forseeable future. The libata PATA drivers are |
| 43 |
considered experimental and do not yet implement all the functionality and |
| 44 |
device support of the existing ide drivers. |
