Based on what you've posted previously ... I'd second Mike Bell's
suggestion, and extend it to recommending these two changes:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
This should suffice to move IDE hard-drive support from modules to the
kernel itself.
If you don't want to go that route ... I'm used to compiling ide support in,
not using modules for it, so I don't actually know what the modules setup
looks like. Charles already suggested:

I didn't see any reply to this suggestion. To that end, you might report
-- the output (or the ide-related subset) of "lsmod"
-- the relevant part of /etc/modules
-- whether the relevant modules are findable by "insmod"
so someone used to using IDE as modules will be able to note anything that's
missing.
What is in directory /proc/ide/hdb/ (if it exists)?
What is in pseudo-file /proc/ide/hdb/driver (if it exists)?
