I don't know why you get "modprobe: Can't locate module ide-disk"
for a default RedHat kernel, which I thought was built so that it already
has the capability of ide-disk.o without requiring the module. Do you
have a reference to ide-disk in /etc/modules.conf? If you do, try
removing it.
I also don't know how to deal with the error in compiling the kernel.
But maybe you don't want a new kernel, and just need ide-disk.o. If so,
you ought to be able to get it even if the kernel compilation failed. Do
"make modules" and copy it from /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-30.9/drivers/ide to
/lib/modules/2.4.20-30.9<smp?>/kernel/drivers/ide
