With the md stuff built in but the ide driver modular and loaded later by udev, the drives are not detected. So, I guessed that perhaps if I made the md stuff modular aswell and load it _after_ loading the ide driver, this might kickstart the auto-detect stuff. But it didn't :( Is there a way to make auto-detection work without having the ide driver built in? TIA Andrew Walrond
