: The code I added merely does:
:
: if (_FDE working)
: add fd[0-2] children accordingly
: if (fdX._FDI working)
: set type on fdX
: else
: unmodified hints probe for fd[0-2]
:
: if (fdX type not set)
: unmodified drive type probe via rtc
:
: Since the probe is unmodified if _FDE is not present, I can't see a new
: problem here. If this is a new problem, it must be elsewhere.
I'll take a look at things. I think it may have to do with
