As far as I know passing parameters to the ide (or whatever) module like this will only work if it's built into the kernel, not if it's a module. If it's a module the parameter has to be passed when the module is modprobed. When you boot in expert mode it should let you specifiy module parameters before loading whichever module is the one that processes this parameter and you can enter it there. -- see shy jo
