Hi, did exactly what mystictim wrote at post #2 (no I did not forget the sudo update-initramfs -u :-)), but I couldn't get the ata_generic module removed. It's still listed:
libata 159344 3 ata_generic,pata_acpi,pata_atiixp Only thing changed is the order of the modules... hdparm still gives me the "Inappropriate ioctl for device" message.
