Hmm. What does that module do? Seems it could possibly be a slightly more specific (safe maybe?) implementation of ide-generic. FYI, I filed http://bugs.debian.org/485786 yesterday requesting to add back support for ide-generic in initramfs-tools. No idea how this relates to that. The Kconfig descriptions are not particularly helpful either... There is this in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt: ide-pci-generic.all-generic-ide [HW] (E)IDE subsystem Claim all unknown PCI IDE storage controllers. That sounds better than ide-generic which just claims anything it can lay its hands on as soon as its loaded. Wonder what it does by default though. Also wonder if there are devices that ide-generic will support while ide-pci-generic does not.
