Cd is always detected at boot - when scanning ide's - no matter if I compile ide-cd as module or compile it in.

I wanted to load my system faster than with everything compiled into core. :) Loading files from hard disk after linux boot is faster than before (grub/lilo). Is there a way to set this to load magicaly at system boot? I thought that coldplug/holdplug should take care of this. Thanks for help :D -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
