I don't know what to belive anymore, I have tested both mkinitramfs and yaird (their previous and current versions). I have inspected the initrds that they produce and the module for ide, "ide-disk" is included. > Also, can you please try the 2.6.18-rc6 packages from : > > http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/ > > and see if your problem persists there. Yes the problem persists. But 2.6.18-rc6 gives a clearer error message at boot.
