I know the ide-layer is rewritten and is now much like 2.5.x In 2.5.x modular ide is also broken and probably priority item no 20000 on the list of bugs to fix. And IMHO this is right. Better first fix real bugs in 2.5.x before devoting time to fixing rare cases like this. In 2.4.x however modular ide worked (at least in 2.4.20) , and I use it to make a strip down kernel for my rescue/nfsroot floppydisk. As I am no coder, I have no idea how much work or how invasive a patch would be to get it working again in 2.4.21-rc. As we are in rc2 stage, I can imagine waiting till 2.4.22-pre is the best option. However could someone in the know tell me if it is possible to get it fixed in rc3/final?
