If you try to compile ide as modules you get unresolved symbols:
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.21-rc3/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.o
depmod: proc_ide_read_geometry
depmod: ide_remove_proc_entries
[...]
The following short patch should fix this problem
(AFAIK, also not fixed in -ac tree)
