This has been around the 2.4.21 pre series for quite some time, I thought it
was known, but as it has not yet been fixed, I'm doubting it.

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)
