Hmm. I sent a followup to #345067 that is currently assigned to the ctte and received the mail below from debian-ctte-request. Looks like something is misconfigured. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: Bug#345067: Draft of documenting the ide-generic problem Date: Wednesday 08 March 2006 15:03 From: debian-ctte-request@lists.debian.org To: aragorn@tiscali.nl You are not subscribed to this list, so your submission was rejected.

I now know it=20 is not for my Toshiba Satellite A40 laptop (piix). =46rom: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D352753;msg=3D69 = [1] ! I guess this shows why ide.agent is needed (to load ide-disk, ide-cd, ! ...) , although my case does _not_ show why that script should need to=20 ! include ide-generic. Guess we need other people testing to show the need= =20 ! for this. At first it _seemed_ ide-generic was needed, but more careful testing=20 showed it actually is not. I have just confirmed this by renaming the=20 ide-generic driver and regenerating the initrd: the system booted just=20 fine. So, it may be a good idea to ask people who've reported issues in the past= =20 to do specific tests using current kernel, udev and initrd generators to=20 check if ide-generic really is needed.
