hehehe...Okay I'll be nice.
You need to reconfigure your kernel and specify the IDE
driver/support options to be compiled into the kernel and not as
a module. Check under 'filesystems' after running 'make
menuconfig'.
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE = Y
Also check out /usr/src/linux/Documentation/ide.txt if you want.
hehehe, here's what the 'Configure.help' file has to say:
"Do not compile this driver as a module if your root filesystem (the
one containing the directory /) is located on an IDE device."
Good Luck,
LG
