Great. Now all I need to is to get ata-piix working.
The thinkwiki page only talks about how to prevent piix from being
loaded, and I got that fine (just adding blacklist entries for `piix',
`ide_core' and `generic' seems to do the trick), but now loading
ata-piix doesn't do anything (no dmesg output at all) and the cdrom
doesn't show up at all.
Any hint?
