ls /dev shows only console and null - nothing else (both before and after
the modprobe).

Not sure how to determine that. Under the .12 kernel lsmod shows what
ide_core is dependent on the following (most of which are marked
[permanent] in lsmod)
ide_cd,ide_disk,ide_generic,via82cxxx,trm290,triflex,slc90e66,sis5513,siimage,serverworks,sc1200,rz1000,piix,pdc202xx_old,opti621,ns87415,hpt366,hpt34x,generic,cy82c693,cs5530,cs5520,cmd64x,atiixp,amd74xx,alim15x3,aec62xx,pdc202xx_new
If it means anything - under /proc/ide/ - apart from directories for each
disk (which contain sets of emtpy files) there is a drivers file (ide-disk
and ide-generic) and a via file (which talks about a via southbridge)
