Hi

(please cc me)

The sata_nv patch[1] (merged in 2.6.11-rc4) to enable future NVIDIA SATA
pci ids catches all NVIDIA pci devices with the ide class. This breaks
automatic module loading for e.g. nForce2 ide controllers and thereby
renders nForce systems loading modules already in initramfs/initrd via
hotplug/coldplug non-bootable.

I don't know what solutions are possible besides reverting. Is it
somehow possible to influence the order of the modules.pcimap file, i.e.
moving the generic matching lines below the more specific ones?

It might be fair to add a kernel config option to disable the generic entry.
