A.3.2.6 IDE GEV
There are two reserved IDE GEVs.
mot-/dev/ide%d-mask
This GEV controls the channel and device selection of the Legacy or Serial ATA probing
sequence. This GEV is in the form mot-/dev/ide%d-mask, where %d is the device instance;
for example, mot-/dev/ide0-mask. MOTLoad expects hexadecimal data as input into this
GEV. Each bit field denotes which device to probe as shown below:
mask = 0x1: channel 0 device 0
mask = 0x2: channel 0 device 1
mask = 0x4: channel 1 device 0
mask = 0x8: channel 1 device 1
MOTLoad uses a default value of 0xFFFFFFFF for the channel mask, which causes MOTLoad
to probe all possible IDE channels.
mot-/dev/ide%d-timeout
This GEV controls the time-out value of detecting a Legacy or Serial ATA device. This GEV
is in the form mot-/dev/ide%d-timeout, where %d is the device instance; for example,
mot-/dev/ide0-timeout. MOTLoad expect decimal data in seconds as input into this GEV.
MOTLoad does not limit input to a particular range. If a user enters erroneous data, the user
could recover through safe-start mode if MOTLoad is in a prolonged wait-probe state. If the
CLI is available, the user could recover by setting the time-out to the desired value.
MOTLoad uses a default value of 2 seconds for the IDE-detection time-out.
