Bug Description

I've added a PCI IDE extension - ACARD AEC6280. The 2.6.24-17-rt kernel works because it loads the aec62xx module[1]

But when I boot on the most recent kernel : 2.6.27-11 I get a dump into the initramfs at boot because it doesn't detect the disk correctly (the bootable system is not on the AEC extension, it's just data).

Even if I do end up booting with the kernel will I see my extra HDD ?

Hi Arthur,

Sorry for such a delayed response. This still appears to be missing in the latest Karmic.
