I don't think drivers/ide ever really played well when built modular, at least not in 2.4, quite possibly in 2.6 as well. Things like DMA not getting turned on automatically when the low-level driver was a module, etc. Likely why Red Hat/Fedora never built it modular when they did everything else..
