Because inserting a module inserts it into the running kernel (in RAM), not into its image on disk. When you reboot, you get a clean copy of the kernel from the image on disk. The effect you want can be achieved by putting ide-scsi into /etc/modules on its own line. This will insmod it during boot up.
