you may be right there is no module "video.o". The problem is, there should

By the way, I now checked the syslog, and I see that the last cron message

There was a post on linux-kernel earlier today stating that "hdx=scsi" did

I can confirm that this is true for 2.2.x, with "hdx=ide-scsi". Once I
compiled both statically into the kernel, it works.
Patch is removing few ifdefs.
Both MODULE_PARM and __initfunc are removed by preprocessor if compiled
