Yes, weird indeed. Putting ide-cd into /etc/modules did not help for the
2.6.12 kernel, by the way... but then I managed to compile that one
without ide-scsi and boot it in the meantime (works better if you
remember to make an initrd image, too... Duh!), and this did solve the
problem.
However, there are still some scsi modules...
scsi_mod 151344 3 sd_mod,sg,libata
which also brings me to the question, is this actually correct:
hdparm /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 19457/255/63, sectors = 312581808, start = 0
The 16-bit value there seems strange, but then I have no experience what
I should get from a SATA drive.
Other thing: Do you think it should be reported as a bug if newer debian
kernels contain the unsupported ide-scsi module? But then it seems
no-one but me has has any problems with it...
