I have upgraded my system to actual squeeze.
While building the initramfs, ata-generic was included in
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules, but _ide-generic_ was not.
The system is now unbootable, root filesystem is not found during boot.
Some output from the initramfs-shell:
(initramfs) cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-486 root=UUID=<uuid> ro all_generic_ide
(initramfs) cat /proc/modules
ide_gd_mod 17175 0 - Live 0xc2971000
ide_core 59670 1 ide_gd_mod, Live 0xc294b000
fan 2590 0 - Live 0xc2923000
thermal 9210 0 - Live 0xc290a000
thermal_sys 9346 2 fan,thermal, Live 0xc28f9000
ata_generic 2015 0 - Live 0ßxc2820000
libata 117275 1 ata_generic, Live 0xc28da000
scsi_mod 102265 1 libata, Live 0xc2863000
(initramfs) ls -l /dev/[hs]da*
ls: /dev/[hs]da*: No such file or directory
(initramfs) ls -l /dev/disk/*
ls: /dev/disk/*: No such file or directory
So, there is no harddisk available, while ata_generic is loaded.
Maybe you want some info on the hardware?
I booted the installer and this is the output from
lspci -nn:

Hmm, there is no IDE controller listed ~~:)
But hda is available at that time:
dmesg | grep hda says:
hda: TOSHIBA MK4006MAV, ATA DISK drive
hda: max request size: 128KiB
hda: 8007662 sectors (4099 MB), CHS=7944/16/63
hda: hda1 hda2
PLEASE NOTE, THAT THIS IS WITH ide_generic LOADED!
ata_generic is not available on the d-i at that time,
but ide_generic is.
