The ide chipset modules have to be loaded before ide-detect to take
effect, I belive. And they're needed on some machines to access the
drive without it hanging. Loading it first works around your problem,
but it not a solution. Like I said, you need to do a binary search and
work out which ide chipset module is at fault; which I guess will take a
fair bit of rebooting.
