Try "lsmod". If it's not loaded add it by modconf.
Just doing modprobe -a ide-detect after booting works on my compiled kernel with CONFIG_IDE=y (and no piix module, subsequently). Will investigate the official kernel package (with CONFIG_IDE=m, which does have a piix module) further this evening. That was probably the one holding things up, as I don't recall seeing it before building my own kernel. (am accessing machine remotely and don't want to reboot until I get home)
add "ide-detect" in /etc/modules and run an "update-modules" afterwards (you can also do a modconf and add the required modules)forgot to ask about that, does modconf just edit /etc/modules or does it edit /etc/modutils/* too?AFAIK modconf does edit the /etc/modules and update-modules reads input from /etc/modutils and writes /etc/modules.conf.
ok, doing some testing with it, seems neat. I launched it, said to install ide-detect, and exited. My /etc/modules has been updated with ide-detect, and ide-detect and ide-core modules were loaded. No mention of ide-detect anywhere else though, even after running update-modules and update-modules.modutils. Of particular interest is that the piix module is listed uner ide/pci. Although there is no description for the ide/legacy, ide/pci, or ide/raid groups. So perhaps modconf just displays all possible modules regardless of the running kernel config, and only gives descriptions for modules which actually exist.
Thanks for the info, I should be able to get things going with the official kernel image now, I'll send another update if I can't.
