Installation
used legacy IDE drivers, boot used PATA drivers. PATA should be the default now! Almost nobody will need IDE (except maybe for sis controllers).
So it should be a simple matter of modifying the mkinitcpio config to match the stock kernel's - except, of course, for the typical archiso stuff.
Actually, I think there should be two configurations: One with PATA and one with IDE (as long as we use grub, it's easy to have several). The installer should somehow remember what choice we made at boot time and modify the system's mkinitcpio.conf.
That's actually a good idea - make 2 ramfs images for IDE and PATA. Or... well that naming might be confusing. Stock and "Legacy IDE" or something 8)
