i had the same problem with my ES40's, i just changed the /etc/modules 
file to load the eepro driver at boot:

dove-01:/etc# more modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a "#", and everything on the line after them are ignored.

sd_mod
eepro100
ide-cd
ide-detect
