It seems that even in 2.6.14, you always need the ide-generic module
if you use any other ide module. This is because ideprobe_init() is
ONLY called from the ide-generic module initialization!
There's a comment in /usr/lib/yaird/perl/Hardware.pm which says:
# Hmm, via82cxxx (2.6.8) also needs ide-generic
# to load it seems. That could be because ide-generic
# contains a call to ide_probe_init() which is in
# the ide-core module. After loading ide-generic
# it's still the via82cxxx module that manages the device;
# see /sys/bus/pci/drivers/VIA_IDE/.
# The above error persists in 2.6.12, and is solved
# in 2.6.14.
The last sentence is NOT true, I just completely grepped through a
full 2.6.14 source tree, and ideprobe_init() is ONLY called from
ide_generic_init().
Therefore, you always need to include the ide-generic module if the
system uses IDE.
