Hi Matt,

To the best of my knowledge, there is no ide-generic module in the 2.4.x 
kernels. It is not present in Debian's i386 kernel-image-2.4.27-2 debs 
and is not mentioned anywhere in the drivers/ide subdirectory in the 
source tree. So if you see that the ide-disk, ide-cd and the module for 
your chipset (which is alim15x3, I presume) are loaded, then something 
else is wrong.

Best regards,
