Well I tested in vmware with root on a scsi disk and /usr on ide and it worked: something managed to load ide-disk before /usr was mounted without it being in /etc/modules. It seems to be loaded on demand when the ide disk is first accessed: Checking all file systems... fsck 1.35 (20-Feb-2004) /home: clean, 11/70704 files, 13014/141296 blocks hdb: attached ide-disk driver. Before that point, ide-disk was not loaded. Same thing if I use dd. I'm not sure why this doesn't happen for lvm, but it seems your problem is actually lvm specific after all and we're not generally broken for mixed scsi/ide systems. Now I'm really interested to know if it works with ide-disk in /etc/modules. -- see shy jo
