PPC kernel fails when IDE built as modules

PPC kernel fails when IDE built as modules

[Ethan]

Just thought I'd drop a note that recent kernel builds (2.4.17-pre1,2) 
on PPC fail when IDE is built as modules.

The fix for this is part of the big pmac merge I'm about to start
with Marcelo. In the meantime, use the bitkeeper PPC tree
(see http://www.penguinppc.org/dev/kernel.shtml for details).

Hrm.. Sorry, it looks like you indeed have a good point here.

I'll see how we can fix that tomorrow.

Making any headway on this one?  I'm still getting it as of 2.4.17-pre5.
