Comment 5 for bug 8325

ide-generic is already loaded

harold@ygdrassil ~ $ sudo lsmod | grep ide
ide_generic 1632 0
ide_cd 42180 0
ide_core 138896 4 pdc202xx_old,via82cxxx,ide_generic,ide_cd
cdrom 39808 1 ide_cd

/etc/modules contains:
sd_mod
psmouse
mousedev
ide-cd
ide-generic
lp
tun
nvidia

modprobing ide-disk after boot does make it recognise the HD.

to make it work for my system I use the following /etc/modules now:
sd_mod
psmouse
mousedev
ide-disk
ide-cd
via82cxxx # to make sure ide-generic doesn't pick them up (disables DMA)
ide-generic
lp
tun
nvidia
