- linux-image-2.6.12-1-686 loads every ide pci module at boot time

This is a know problem since around 2.6.10. The problem is
that due to some broken locking semantics inside the kernel,
it is not safe to unload the ide modules, and more to the point,
the kernel doesn't allow them to be resolved.

This should be eventually resolved by reqorking the kernel's locks,
but that may be a while off, and is definately work for upstream.

It may also be resolved by replacing mkinitrd with something
that doesn't load all modules. work on this is in progress.

That sadly makes a big memory footprint here...

The problem doesn't happen with kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686.

The machine is an IBM Thinkpad a20p

Known problem, will be fixed by the use of yaird instead of initrd-tools. not
sure how initramfs behaves in this way.

Friendly,
