/etc/initramfs-tools/modules should be empty by default. libata
drivers are loaded by the scripts in the initramfs image of Gutsy.
By adding IDE drivers to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, IDE drivers
get loaded first. Therefore you should remove anything related to
libata in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules.

If it fixes your problem, join my petition to keep the old IDE
chipset drivers. :) I suggest you try the Hardy beta desktop CD
to find out if the problem is still there.
