That still works for me with 2.5.13.
For SCSI devices probably, but I get "/dev/hde: No such device" (ENODEV) when a CF card is inserted and recognized.
(dmesg) hde: SanDisk SDCFB-32, ATA DISK drive ide2 at 0x100-0x107,0x10e on irq 3 ide_cs: hde: Vcc = 3.3, Vpp = 0.0
When the CF card is not inserted I get a subtly different error "/dev/hde: No such device or address" (ENXIO).
It looks like the drive <-> driver association is only set up when the ide-disk driver module is loaded and not when new hardware is found.
