What?

I have been booting 2.4.x kernels for months now, without initrd, on 3
boxen with IDE drives.

I used a stock kernel from kernel.org.  Running 2.4.17 curently.  No
different than the way 2.2.x kernels were made.  Don't make the ext2/3
filesystems as modules, which you 'could' do 'if' you were using
initrd.

I must have missed something in this thread or don't really understand
your problem.
