I need to have the soundcard initialised before the gameport is initialised or the gameport cannot be accessed. This is just one problem. The irda protocal needs get_random_bytes during initialisation. I tried to get the ide driver to accept hdx=ide-scsi, but my __setup functions keep getting called at the very beginning of the visible boot. What am I doing wrong ?
