I'm running 2.4.25 on a ZX2000 so I did a
grep CONFIG_BLK_DEV .config and the following are the ones
set to y

     _LOOP
     _RAM
     _RAM_SIZE=4096
     _INITRD
     _IDE
     _IDEDISK
     _IDECD
     _IDESCSI
     _IDEPCI
     _IDEDMA_PCI
     _IDEDMA
     _CMD64X
     _PIIX
     _SD
     _SR

I am not using an initrd.
