You have three options....

1. You must recompile the driver not to be a module. This is your best choice..

2. If not, then your going to have to build a initrd. I guess gentoo has a buildkernel 
script that does this and works pretty good. But I have never used it,,, yet.. :)

3. The only way you can get around this is have a root partition on ide and load the 
modules up for the rest of the drives.. 

I am sure there are others but it gets kinda wacky.. :)
 
Either option is good, 1 would be the easiest since you just have to get into kernel 
config and change it from module to internal.  3 is just silly but it will work.. I 
have done it before when a drive I had on a old computer wouldn't boot right and 
didn't want to have a floppy in it all the time. I don't like throwing drives out when 
they work.. :)
