Correction--these drivers are being loaded in a different order than in woody's 2.2
and 2.4 kernels; in 2.4.18-newpmac, both IDE drivers are compiled-in, and the IDE
devices are arranged thusly:
hda: IBM-DTTA-351290, ATA DISK drive
hde: MATSHITA CR-587, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdf: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive

(ide0, ide1 are the cmd646, ide2 is the Apple Heathrow ATA/pmac_ide)

with the current warty 2.6 setup, pmac_ide is compiled in, but cmd64x is a module;
then hda become hdc, hde becomes hda, and hdf becomes hdb.

This is only an issue for upgrades from woody; on a fresh install,
it will use hdc consistently.

The specific problem of cmd64x not being loaded is solved by the patch,
and this particular bug should probably be closed when that patch is applied
to the initrd-tools.
