If you can pass the following to the kernel "hdc=flash hdd=flash", then
it should work.

For Debian, following is what I do.

- Create the file /etc/modutils/ide and put the following line into it:
  options ide-mod options="hdc=flash hdd=flash"
- Run update-modules
- Redo the initrd via mkinitrd

And then ask Andre Hedrix to fix his IDE driver.

Thanks.
