If the kernel-source rpm is installed, you can look at the default
configurations shown in /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs. I see that the
default kernels all have CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y, meaning, according to
/usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/Configure.help, ide-disk is built into
the kernel. Did you build your own kernel and leave out
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK? If so, you ought to be able to fix the problem by
building it again, this time with IDE/ATA-2 DISK support included, at
least as a module. On the other hand, if you're running a default RedHat
kernel, disregard this message; I don't know why you got the modprobe
complaint.
