Subjectide-cd and kernel mod loader
Hi! 

In 2.5.65-mm4, if I compile ide-cd as a module, it's
kernel module is not loaded automatically when
accessing the CDROM block device (/dev/hdc in my
case).

Compiling IDE CD as a module, then doing a mount
/cdrom fails with "/dev/hdc is not a valid block device".
I haven't seen any messages on the kernel ring or
/var/log/message. So, I need to manually do modprobe
cdrom and modprobe ide-cd. Then, mount will work.
As this is a pain, I have opted to compile ide-cd into the
kernel. This doesn't happen with other modules (i.e.
they are loaded automatically.

Is this a bug?

Thanks!
