a) either compile your own kernel ... or modify your initrd.gz file that
corresponds to your kernel
- if you can add "modprobe ide" ( or equivalent ) into the initrd
than you're all set
- you'd need lots of other stuff config'd so that you can modify
the initrd depending on how that initrd was built
#
# cp /boot/initrd-xxx.gz /boot/initrd-test.gz
# gzip -d /boot/initrd-test.gz
#
# mount -o loop /boot/initrd-test /mnt/loop
# cd /mnt/loop
# see where all the commands are ( ./linuxrc or equiv )
# add "modprobe ide" in ./linuxrc
# cd ~
# umount /mnt/loop
# gzip /boot/initrd-test
# change grub/lilo to use your new initrd-test.gz file instead
#
b) compiling a new kernel is 10x better/easier/faster/guaranteed to work
