The initrd should be loading ide-detect, seems more likely to me it's not loading some other driver for your hde drive. If I were you I'd try to get it to boot to a shell in the initrd (unfortunatly I always forget how to do this, it's not as easy as it should be) and fiddle around with modprobe until I knew what module it was omitting to modprobe or what module was perhaps left off the initrd. Anyway, I'm reassigning this installation report to initrd-tools, since the bug is pretty clearly over there, and its real maintainer can probably do a better job debugging. -- see shy jo
