crossmeta doesn't support more than 8 IDE units mounted up at the same time

[madsl]

This should be an easy thing to fix! Hope this project still is
alive...

By default all Linux kernels are configured with support for maximum 8
IDE devices (counting out SATA and such non-IDE units). This option is
called

"CONFIG_IDE_MAX_HWIFS" (default =8)

in the .config-file the kernel uses when compiling. In my system there
is 12 IDE-devices, and crossmeta's dmesg reports every one of them,
but it cannot mount any more than 8 devices (from da1 to da8). I had
the same problem in Linux, but I solved it by changing the default
CONFIG_IDE_MAX_HWIFS to 12 in the .config.

I hope this matter is just as easy to fix in crossmeta, and also that
this matter would resolve in the near future. Such a neat open source
product as crossmeta shouldn't go unmaintained :)

And yes, I hope for more locale support too :) UTF-8 special
characters in filenames causes crossmeta to ignore the file, not
listing it at all.
