Some people get lots of strange messages using the compact version, as
it's trying to detect scsi drives, if there aren't any present. I
think perhaps it even quits because it can't find them. Adam
recommends idepci to those people.
This might also not be a problem with the 2.4 kernel, that is we could
send people from compact to 2.4 instead of to idepci, possibly.
