To get the cdrom working, I have to "modprobe ide-cd" manually. I've tried placing "ide-cd" into /etc/modules, but that doesn't help.

yaird only loads the modules that are needed to access the root device, and
pivot_root or whatever to it, and then continue with the normal boot process.

So, unless you have your root device on a cdrom, then what you describe is a
feature, and not a bug, and you should really look into
hotplug/udev/discover/whatever, and see why your other modules are not loaded.

I leave it up to Jonas to close this bug report though.
