Bug#244440: explanation

[Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com>]

# Manually load modules to enable things we can't detect.
# XXX: This isn't the best way to do this; we should autodetect.
# The order of these modules are important.
get_manual_hw_info() {
        echo "floppy:Linux Floppy"
        # ide-mod and ide-probe-mod are needed for older (2.4.20) kernels
        echo "ide-mod:Linux IDE driver"
        echo "ide-probe-mod:Linux IDE probe driver"
        get_ide_chipset_info


Well, automatic detection would be best, but if that's not posible,
perhaps we could have a listing per arch/sub-arch.  This is really
minor, but trying to load IDE modules on a machine w/o IDE looks kinda
silly; and it does take some time, especially on older machines
(which are typically those without IDE).
