Bug#332824: missing ide-generic

[maximilian attems <maks@sternwelten.at>]

please try the attached patch,
should load ide-generic even if udev didn't yet bring it up:
patch -p1  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/udev < ide-generic.udev.patch

for this trial please remove any ide-generic or ide-disk 
out of /etc/mkinitramfs/modules, then update-initramfs -u
and reboot,
if it doesn't work out you still need to modprobe manually
ide-generic and disc..

thanks for your feedback.
