if yiu are using debian kernek config, you need to use --initrd option,
as it compiles all of filesystems,ect as modules.

And you need to add initrd line to grub after that, like the rest of
your kernels.

Or you can modify the lernel to compile ide/ext/whatever stuff into the
kernel.

Hope this helps.
