the kernel doesn't have a module aliased to handle the block
device with a major number of 22. This device is ide1 (the second
IDE controller), you'll need a line like:

        alias block-major-22 ide-probe

in your /etc/conf.modules file. (I'm not exactly sure about the
ide-probe bit, I'm not on an IDE box righ tnow).

Have a read of:

        Documentation/modules.txt
        Documentation/ide.txt

in your linux kernel source directory.
