Okay. That is definitely odd now. The other output was produced by a 2.6.32 
kernel on SuSE 11SP1. I'm unsure whether to write a small check if $flags 
contains rogue 'colon-space-colon-space' sequences or simply ignore the 
matter.


But apart from that: THAT'S AN IDE MACHINE! Great! Can you please provide me 
with the output of /proc/ide/*/media? (Another nearly obsolete piece of 
cidenow. Even if I force a machine to have IDE disks they're still presented 
as SCSI devices.)
