Please make sure to don't mess up like yaird did. powerpc at least doesn't
have any ide-generic module, and works just fine like this and always did, so
please test for this case and don't just die horribly like yaird.

could you try the attached hook file,
please place it under  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/
and recreate the initramfs: update-initramfs -u

hope it works,
should load ide-disk and ide-generic after the udev run,
as udev currently fails to do so.

removed the patch without furthere notice as your concerns weren't 
touched by it.
