2.4.19 does not include support for the TX2000 card, so it wont help if
you compile this kernel.

However, with a trick in /usr/src/linux/drivers/ide/pdc202xx.c
you can put in TX2000 support yourself. You just have to replace all
occurences of "20269" with "20271". The latter is the ID of the TX2000
card. Then just recompile the kernel. 

This is not a beautilful solution, but it works.
