If both are built into the kernel (=y and not modules), legacy IDE drivers take precedence since ide/ is ahead of scsi/ in drivers/Makefile (libata drivers are in scsi/). I have no idea about precedence if you are using initrd or initramfs. And if legacy ide and scsi are both modules, you won't boot... (without using initrd or initramfs). --- ~Randy - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
