I just want to make sure I make myself clear.
I have a regular drive on hda ( a quantum fireball se 4.3G ) and a
sandisk ( 30MB Compact Flash ) on hdb.
If I use hdb=ataflash with kernel 2.2.15, hda will not get
(noprobe=1, present=0) as parameters, since the probe on hdb will not take
place, that's it?

Francois,
Been there, done that, get a newer kernel.
hdx=ataflash is the override, provided you have a kerenl that is patched
or using 2.3/2.4 kernel.
We do not deadlock kernels with missing second flash card.
Cheers,
