I will fix this "BIOS" comment. I can't, because I (plan to) use this kernel on many different machines. Not all of those (in fact: only one) uses the amd74xx module. Is there a kernel parameter I can use to disable the generic IDE code on boot? I already tried compiling without CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC, which doesn't help.
