The code has proven this to not be the case for 2.6.15 though. > So the statement "the ide-generic being loaded _before them_" is incorrect > and also does not correspond to what happens in yaird (or > initramfs-tools): ide-generic is always loaded last. We had been trying to load ide-generic always (and it happened to load before the others) at first, which triggered the DMA bug and ide-generic was then moved to be loaded last.
