Including ide-mod, ide-probe-mod, and ide-disk stored in initrd's
/boot/lib/modules and listed in /boot/etc/modules ?  If so, does
the output when they load look right?  Here's an example:

  LINUXRC: Bering - Initrd - V1.0-rc2
  Using /boot/lib/modules/ide-mod.o
  Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
  ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
  VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
  VP_IDE: chipset revision 6
  VP_IDE: not 100%% native mode: will probe irqs later
  Using /boot/lib/modules/ide-probe-mod.o
  hdc: LEXAR ATA_FLASH, ATA DISK drive
  ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
  Using /boot/lib/modules/ide-disk.o
  hdc: 32128 sectors (16 MB) w/1KiB Cache, CHS=502/2/32
  Partition check:
  hdc: hdc1

That doesn't rule out problems with the ide-* modules in initrd.

Not sure, but I think Luis might have been referring to Jacques'
user's guide, particularly "Booting Bering from different boot-media"
at http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bubooting.html .

That would be consistent with not loading the ide-* modules (or having
IDE disk support compiled into your kernel).  If you do have the ide
modules loaded, posting the output when the modules are loaded would
help with further debugging.
