I booted debian-installer on my lifebook from floppy and USB keychain,
and hw-detect ran. Then something I'm working on tried to mount the IDE=20
hard drive. This hung with IDE timeout messages. Investigation revealed
that if I modprobe alim15x3 before hw-detect, my drive works, otherwise
it does not.
Note that the initrd used to boot stock debian kernels outside of d-i
modprobes every ide chipset driver known to man before ide-disk. This
apparently works everywhere -- we have thousands of users booting with
the stock kernels and ide. It would perhaps be wise to copy that
procedure in hw-detect. You can find the code in /usr/sbin/mkinitrd, in
print_ide_modules. Essentially it loads ide-core, then loads every
module in $MODULEDIR/kernel/drivers/ide/pci, and finally loads
ide-detect and ide-disk.
The following patch works to me, but I will not commit it because I'm
sure there's a better way.

Description:
archdetect - Hardware architect detector (udeb)

hw-detect - Detect hardware and load kernel drivers for it (udeb)
hw-detect-full - Detect hardware and load kernel drivers for it (full version) (udeb)
Closes: 215163 215442 215453 215455
Changes:
ddetect (0.46) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Claus Hindsgaul
- Update da (Danish) translation.
* André LuÃs Lopes
- Update pt_BR (Brazilian Portuguese) translation.
* Denis Barbier
- Add a comment in templates files to flag main menu items.
* Christian Perrier
- Update French translation.
* Petter Reinholdtsen
- Correct module name match to avoid matching
substrings. (Closes: #215453)
- Try to load ide-floppy as well, as some platforms need it,
and I am not sure how to probe for it. (Closes: #215455)
* Joey Hess
- Load all the PCI IDE drivers before ide-detect, to fix DMA
issues on some systems. Closes: #215442
- Remove the hard-coded list of modules from ethdetect, instead search
for all net drivers and put them in the list, which is not 100% right
but still much better.
- Remove the confusing question about manually specifying the module to
load. Anyone who knows where a non-modprobe-able module is can use the
shell..
- Remove redundant ethdetect/title template, and unused
ethdetect/module_prompt template.
- hw-detect: collect any modprobe failures, and show them all in one
screen at the end. Closes: #215163
- hw-detect: Say "Loading module", not "Detected module", as not all
the loaded modules were detected.
- ethdetect: Loop if manual loading does not work, to let the user try
several modules. Add error if ethernet card is not found.
- Add myself to uploaders, at least temporarily.
