What do you get from:

# ls -l /dev/hd[a-d]

I get:

brw-rw----  1 root disk  3,  0 Feb 23  2004 /dev/hda
brw-rw----  1 root disk  3, 64 Feb 23  2004 /dev/hdb
brw-rw----  1 root disk 22,  0 Feb 23  2004 /dev/hdc
brw-rw----  1 root disk 22, 64 Feb 23  2004 /dev/hdd

Can you confirm that there is no reference to ide-scsi in your /etc/grub.conf 
entry for this kernel, nor in /etc/modprobe.conf?
