Correct modules list for MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum



Hi,

I've been running kernel 2.6.11.12 (custom kernel) for a while. With this 
kernel, the amd74xx module loaded fine at boot so I had DMA for my PATA 
drives. I did this by adding the amd74xx module to /etc/mkinitrd/modules.

Since 2.6.12 (and the new udev) hit testing, I switched to Debian kernel 
2.6.12. With this kernel and "amd74xx" in /etc/mkinitrd/modules, the module 
is not correctly loaded at startup. I don't see the usual:

NFORCE3-250: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:08.0
NFORCE3-250: chipset revision 162
NFORCE3-250: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
NFORCE3-250: BIOS didn't set cable bits correctly. Enabling workaround.
NFORCE3-250: BIOS didn't set cable bits correctly. Enabling workaround.
NFORCE3-250: 0000:00:08.0 (rev a2) UDMA133 controller
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA


According to various usenet posts, it should work by 
keeping /etc/mkinitrd/modules empty and simple adding the following 
to /etc/modules:

amd74xx
ide-cd
ide-disk
ide-generic

By using this setting, the amd74xx module gets loaded OK, but then also the 
ide-scsi module gets loaded (although it's not mentioned in /etc/modules), 
causing my DVD drives to become scsi devices.

How can I prevent the ide-scsi module from loading?

Can somebody who also has the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard and who is 
using 2.6.12 please post their /etc/modules and /etc/mkinitrd/modules?

Thanks
