could you try the attached hook file,
please place it under  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/
and recreate the initramfs: update-initramfs -u

hope it works,
should load ide-disk and ide-generic after the udev run,
as udev currently fails to do so.

removed the patch without furthere notice as your concerns weren't 
touched by it.
