We need a warning for intel users with SATA/IDE controller combos.

The workaround for now is to boot ideX=norpobe ideY=noprobe , where X , Y is the HDD , eg: 

Saying for HDA / HD{B,C} ( so first is SATA disk second CDROM or IDE/PATA disk )

ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe

That would 'disable *IDE*' for those disks and *enable* libata for both so SATA _and_ IDE does work.

By _not_ doing that the system is not usable ( if it boots at all )

Even the setup should be booted like this so the users get the right things in /etc/fstab
