With the 2.6.7-1-686-smp kernel, I get the same output from lspci,

Hi,

I think this bug and #266538 should be merged.

As my test, this problem is happen on only kernel-image-2.4.27. 2.6
series and 2.4.26 haven't any problem. I have a machine with PIIX IDE.

After initrd is extracted, /sbin/init try to load ide vendor
driver (piix), but strangely only 2.4.27 won't try to do this.

I'm checking difference of 2.4.26 and 2.4.27 initrd files, but I
haven't found a key yet.

Thanks,

Package: kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686
Version: 2.4.27-1
Severity: important

With kernel 2.4.23-1-686, my disk on my Promise IDE controler shows up
as hde and works fine.

With kernel 2.4.27-1-686, the disk is not detected.

lspci -v output:

I tried adding pdc202xx_new to /etc/modules and rebooting, but it
appears that the controler is probed added after the ide disk
detection is already complete.
