Are you sure ? With my kernel 2.6.5-1.358, this option on command line
results in 'BAD OPTION' message from kernel. I checked 'kernel
parameters.txt', 'ide.txt' under kernel documentation, where it is not
mentioned. What is mentioned is 'hdx=C,H,S', but that option will be
overridden by successful probing of the device by kernel.
