The boot kernel has a lot of it disabled not the main ones.

I can't speak directly for the Kudzu maintainer but I can say that having a sane way to obtain the list of ide devices (all of them not just non pcmcia) and the device bindings/type has been a long standing request.
If 2.6 breaks a 2.4 installer and nothing else I don't think its a big disaster and the cleanup may well be justified - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
