Modular kernel (2.6.20) and software raid auto detection

From: Andrew Walrond

With my ide driver and the md stuff all built into the kernel, my software
raid drives and associated /dev/md? devices are detected and created by the
kernel.

With the md stuff built in but the ide driver modular and loaded later by
udev, the drives are not detected.

So, I guessed that perhaps if I made the md stuff modular aswell and load it
_after_ loading the ide driver, this might kickstart the auto-detect stuff.
But it didn't :(

Is there a way to make auto-detection work without having the ide driver built
in?

TIA
