more kernel/udev related than initrd-related.

What happens is that if you load certain kernel PATA modules the name
of the associated /dev/ files are changed from hdXX to sdXX, making
initrd fail (the root device name is set in GRUB's menu.lst and should
be not changed at boot time).

What we did with kernel 2.6.19 was to exclude these modules from the
config (which is the same debian does), but it could be that in kernel
2.6.21 more of these PATA modules have been introduced and we have to
disable them as well, as a workaround of course.
