Can't Boot 2.6 Kernel -- IDE is a Module

[Brian White <bcwhite@precidia.com>]

When I try to install a stock Debian kernel (2.6-386) on my system, it
won't boot any longer (VFS: Unable to mount root fs).  The stock 2.2
kernel that comes with Woody rescue disk boots fine.

As far as I can tell, it's because the 2.6 kernel is compiled with IDE
as a module instead of including it in the kernel proper.  Is there
something I still need to do to allow this module to be loaded?

Thanks!
