Did I misinterpret ide.txt, is ide.txt wrong or is this a bug ? hdi=noprobe seems to work however. The attached SATA disk doesn't show up. And it does show up if I leave out hdi=noprobe. Is there any chance to use sata_sil with that kernel configuration ? Or is recompiling with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE=m or with siimage disabled the only option ?
