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.
