    He's running the Debian Kernel Image 2.4.21-2-<arch>

    Right now, since the IDE Drivers have been broken out individually...
    they are all loaded by default...

    In /etc/modutil/aliases put in:

    # Uncomment these modules you don't want loaded:
    #alias ide-probe-mod off
    #alias trm290 off
    #alias triflex off
    #alias slc90e66 off
    #alias sis5513 off
    #alias siimage off
    #alias serverworks off
    #alias sc1200 off
    #alias rz1000 off
    #alias piix off
    #alias pdc202xx_old off
    #alias opti621 off
    #alias ns87415 off
    #alias hpt366 off
    #alias hpt34x off
    #alias generic off
    #alias cy82c693 off
    #alias cs5530 off
    #alias cmd64x off
    #alias cmd640 off
    #alias amd74xx off
    #alias alim15x3 off
    #alias aec62xx off
    #alias adma100 off

    If you don't need any of them... uncomment all of them.

    Then run "update-modules"
