Hmm. What does that module do? Seems it could possibly be a slightly more
specific (safe maybe?) implementation of ide-generic.
FYI, I filed http://bugs.debian.org/485786 yesterday requesting to add
back support for ide-generic in initramfs-tools.
No idea how this relates to that. The Kconfig descriptions are not
particularly helpful either...
There is this in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt:
ide-pci-generic.all-generic-ide [HW] (E)IDE subsystem
Claim all unknown PCI IDE storage controllers.
That sounds better than ide-generic which just claims anything it can lay
its hands on as soon as its loaded. Wonder what it does by default
though.
Also wonder if there are devices that ide-generic will support while
ide-pci-generic does not.
