Ok so you did the install using a 2.4 kernel and in expert mode, and manaully choose a 2.6 kernel. That could explain why it added the wrong module to /etc/modules, because it checks the running installer kernel. Only way I can think of to fix this easily would be to add _both_ ide modules no matter what the installer's kernel. Of course this would add one more ugly boot message, but it would make the installed system more robust for kernel upgrades anyway. A cleaner fix might be to move the code that adds this into prebaseconfig or even base-config, and have it check against the installed kernel. I guess few people will see this bug since it only happens in expert mode when a different major kernel version is chosen. -- see shy jo
