No IDE drivers loaded for Toshiba Satellite 320 CDS

Hi,

We've received an installation report for Debian for an older system where
no IDE driver gets loaded. The system does not have any IDE device listed in
lspci. When ide-generic is modprobed manually, both the CD and hard disk
work fine.

Any suggestions on how such a system could be recognized?
If we could do that, the installation system could take responsibility for
loading ide-generic and making sure it is included in the initrd.

Or even better, any chance to make the kernel/udev load ide-generic
automatically for this system?

See http://bugs.debian.org/472487 for details. I can get additional info
from the owner of the system if needed.

Cheers,
FJP
