I did a test where I did exactly that. And the IDE device did not appear until I ran cardmgr even though both the card bridge driver and ide-cs were compiled in. I'm guessing thought that cardmgr just knows the right /proc/ things to tickle to make the IDE device appear. Do you happen to know what those are? -- Richard A.
