Wheezy missing IDE modules
Upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy resulted in stuttering video when
trying to watch a DVD movie with gxine. (The upgrade left totem
totally unusable so don't know if the stutter occurs or not) The
drive is an ATA/ATAPI-4 compliant drive capable of UDMA2.
Booting into the default i386 kernel results in three 'fatal'
error messages stating can't find or load modules ide-cd,
ide-disk and ide-generic. The hard drive and DVD drive
function. Can't find a package in the Wheezy repository to
provide these modules. Booting into the Squeeze default kernel
which has these modules results in perfect video rendering.
Playing the video from a USB stick results in perfect
rendering. Has Debian abandoned support for IDE drives?
