&gt;<i> Hi all...
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I have a queston about an issue that should be decided by the 'thinkin
</I>&gt;<i> minds' in the distro, that probably have have wider sight than me...
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I have some boxes with ide disks, that long tine ago were driven by
</I>&gt;<i> the libata subsystem, as the pure PATA susbsytem is being slowly
</I>&gt;<i> deprecated. Perhaps the kernel driver loading priorities have changed,
</I>&gt;<i> perhaps before IDE was not builtin into kernel.
</I>&gt;<i> But now, to get my IDE drove again by libata, I have to blacklist
</I>&gt;<i> generic-ide and company.
</I>&gt;<i> So I had to put a file ide.conf into modules.d like:
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> blacklist ide-generic
</I>&gt;<i> blacklist ide-pci-generic
</I>&gt;<i> blacklist piix
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> so ata_piix drives my ICH5 again.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I think it is desirable, libata works much better than old IDE driver,
</I>&gt;<i> all your drives are sdX, instead of mixing sdX for SATA and hdX for PATA,
</I>&gt;<i> etc...
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Would it be desirable to have an ide-blacklist.conf file just to go
</I>&gt;<i> migrating all working-ok-with-libata controllers to libata, and only
</I>&gt;<i> leave pure PATA drivers for non supported oldies ?
</I>
I'm not sure how it worked previously (hack in mkinitrd, or luck?), but
if we don't want to disable the IDE drivers completely, attached is a
kernel patch that makes modprobe load ATA drivers before IDE drivers.

Thomas?
