Yes, I found the same, too.  That 2.6 does not auto-load modules before 
mounting the root partition.  However, it does auto-load modules after 
that.  On 2 machines that I am testing, I have to compile the kernel and 
put in the IDE and m/b chip-set support to get them work.  By the way, I 
am using 2.6.6.  Also, on both machines, 2.4 works with std 2.4 kernel.
