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).
