Question. With "hwprobe=-modules.pata", are more than 15 partitions 
supported?

If yes, then, Q #2:

When there are more than 15 partitions, will this situation be detected 
and then automatically activate "hwprobe=-modules.pata", or do we have to 
add that manually when booting the install dvd?

At least till a better, definitive solution is found.
