Package: debian-installer Severity: normal On a freshly installed sarge system there are two lines in the /etc/modules: ide_generic ide_cd
If the root filesystem is not on the same controller as the cdrom/dvd drive this loads the generic IDE driver for the controller where the cd/dvd drive is installed. This driver has no ability to use DMA/UDMA on most controllers and thus results in inferior performance of the cdrom/dvd drive. This bug does not affect systems with the root filesystem on the same controller as in this case the correct driver is loaded during boot (initrd) before /etc/modules is being considered. Suggested fix: Insert the driver for the detected IDE controller into /etc/modules before the other two entries or at least warn the user about the possible problem.
