the faulty Xu patch was removed long ago,
still lots of common intel/via hardware needs ide-generic.
otherwise no ide driver is loaded for them.

i'm investingating it atm.
i don't get yet which change between 0.084-3 and 0.084-4 made the
difference.
i know that ide.generic was never included in initramfs.
we use a quite similar code in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/ide
it needs to be converted to modprobe ide-generic only for ide boots,
and to have timeouts for usb/scsi cases.
similar to the ubuntu udev premount hook.

which error messages?

it's quite easy to install linux-2.6-686 or whatever image you need
in parallel to some cool git snapshots. :)
i'm subscribed to udev pts and i try to keep track the best i can.
what is your particular critic?
