Mike,

I do not know all of the history and changes of the "ide-scsi" emulation;
however, if you do a full design upgrade to 2.2.14 plus my ide patches..

Here is how to do it.........without modules.....

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=y

hdc=scsi

Since you are forcing it to be "modular".........I have not refined that
yet............Thus I suggest that you make use of the "Technical Support"
phone lines, email, and etc that RHS offers.....
