Understood.

The new initramfs is at: 
http://ums.usu.ru/~patrakov/test/initramfs_data.cpio.gz (sorry, I forgot 
to remove useless 64-bit modules).

The only difference is that the new initramfs contains a new ide-core.ko 
file. Each access to any non-cdrom IDE device now produces two lines in 
the kernel log, and that an attempt to set remapping parameters is also 
logged. Please boot the kernel and the initramfs with GRUB with the 
LiveCD in the drive, run "dmesg >hda.log" and mail all possible hda.log 
files to me (i.e., with no options, remap, and remap63).

Copying hda.log to a partition will obviously cause more messages to 
appear, but I am not interested in them.
