This explanation is not fully valid for debian kernels. 2.6.8 contains a patch to specifically allow ide modules to be unloaded; it is not all that safe, however. 2.6.10 used to contain the patch, but Christoph dropped it. If it were to become an RC issue, it could easily be re-added. > > I was wondering if this isn't something that reduces the desirability of > 2.6.10 for Sarge.
