ide-mod is the correct module. The full syntax is

insmod ide-mod options=\"hda=17662,16,63\"

insmod ide-mod 'options="hda=17662,16,63"'

Without the back slash or single quotes, the shell strips out the
string quotes. When the string quotes are stripped out, insmod treats
the embedded commas as multiple parameters instead of a single string.
