Recompile your kernel with ide disk support compiled directly into the

I am not using initrd. I should not have to use it. The laptop does not.
2.4.0 worked beautifully on it without the ide in the kernel. It is a
module there, and there are no problems with it. The lilo.conf entry for
it uses the exact same root= as the default RH kernel installed
initially. I do NOT want the ide in the kernel. It should not have to be
there. There is some other problem, I just don't know what.
