And so is ide-generic. You could try to rebuild the initrd without it, 
BUT:

1. I don't know how to do it
2. You might end up with an unbootable system

For 1. it might be enough to just rebuild the initrd with the 
blacklisted module. Otherwise you will have to unpack it, remove the 
module and repack it. You should be able to find instructions on the net 
for this procedure.

To avoid 2. it would be best to keep the current initrds and create a 
backup stanza in grub to use it.
