Certainly, but you will have to find somebody with ide--cs compiled in
(that gets compuiled when the kernel CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECS is set by
the way).  I don't have it since I do not connect any bulk devices
through PCMCIA on my machine.

Nope, the installer installs the same kernel, which apparently does
not have this option set.

Honestly, I have no idea from where can you grab a pre-compiled kernel
to suit your needs.  You mayt want to try some pre-compiled ones from
http://ppckernel.org/ (e.g., the 2.4.25-ben1, works well for me though
I compiled it from sources) but I have no idea what was included in
there.
