[Cooker] mkinitrd, installer and modular ide

[Thomas Backlund]

Hi,
Is it possible to get the installer and/or mkinitrd to cope with a fully 
modular ide?

I have built a kernel with ide fully modular, and mkinitrd picks up 
everything but the chipset support...

On my laptop wich has a ati chipset I had to do a mkinitrd --with atiixp 
to get a working initrd and a booting kernel....

without it I get:

--- cut ---

so everything but the chipset support it detected correctly...

Any ideas / suggestions ?
