    Yes, I found the same, too. That 2.6 does not auto-load modules before
    mounting the root partition. However, it does auto-load modules after
    that. On 2 machines that I am testing, I have to compile the kernel and
    put in the IDE and m/b chip-set support to get them work. By the way, I
    am using 2.6.6. Also, on both machines, 2.4 works with std 2.4 kernel.
