Very surprised that nobody commented on your problem, but it seems the
Subject was misleading.
You compiled ide-disk as a module which is a very bad idea, if your root fs
is on a ide-disk. How should the kernel load a module, without being able to
mount the root fs?
Recompile your kernel with ide-disk compiled in.
