You got it. Disabling CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC let me get rid of these duplicate/additional probes. Thanks for the hint :) A real help text attached to this configuration option would certainly have helped here. And the label misses its leading capital. > Alan has a patch in -ac to not probe for legacy ports if system > has PCI but it needs testing and is limited to x86 currently. > Also it not a full solution as legacy ports logic needs to be > moved to ide_generic anyway... Maybe the option should be relabelled from "generic/default IDE chipset support" to "Non-PCI IDE chipset support" or "Legacy IDE ports support"? I think it should express the fact that people with modern systems do not need it, providing this is actually the case - not sure I exactly understand what it is.
