2.4.21-rc3
I've noticed that the modules ide-taskfile.o and ide-io.o depend on each other if you compile the 2.4.21-rc3 with IDE as modules.
Is this a bug in the kernel or are we supposed to use a new module loader that can resolve such things?

IIRC, according to Alan Cox, on LKML, IDE shouldn't even work as a module, well, if you value your data.
So why don't you include IDE statically in your kernel ?
Thanks,

Because it worked for ages and do NOT since 2.4.19 or so.
I have all SCSI and need ATA/IDE only from time to time to recover bad ATA/IDE disks for some friends or customers.
ATA/IDE shouldn't be demanded thing in the kernel.

Thats only true for loading drivers into a live system where the drive is already active in legacy mode, and its not something 2.4.19 allowed so I disabled it again

Sure. someone just has to fix the makefiles

Kernel bug. IDE doesn't work as a module currently. IMHO, the corresponding configuration option should be made "yes/no" rather than "yes/module/no" for the time being. I posted such a suggestion to linux-kernel earlier today ("yesterday" for Australians at home :-)
