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.
