I remember filing a bug with FC ages ago about the IDE siimage driver 
being compiled in and hence claiming my sil3112 cards, therefore 
making it impossible to use the (better) sata_sil libata driver. I 
think I suggested that siimage be compiled as a module, to allow 
choice between siimage and sata_sil - the reply (from Alan Cox iirc) 
was that modular IDE was a can of worms not to be opened :).

So just dont do it. :)

(the problem above was solved in FC by removing the sil3112 PCI IDs 
from the siimage driver completely i think.)
