nvidia was a typo.  My via82cxxx module suggestion was still meant to be
potentially right.

An lspci and lspci -n output could help look it up.

Of course the right module has to load early so adding it to
/etc/modules is good since that way ide-generic and comapny won't load
first taking over control of the drives.
