Well, the results are...

Suse 10 is incompatible with any IDE drive overlay that requires a kernel
command line parameter.

The hda=remap command is only implemented if passed as a parameter to the
kernel and IDE support is compiled in.  It can not be passed as a module
parameter.

So, until an updated kernel rpm is built that contains the same kernel as is
used by the boot cdrom image, Suse 10 is not compatible with any ide drive
that uses a drive overlay.

If and when an updated kernel rpm is built, then people can somehow get that
rpm onto their system, boot to rescue mode, and then install it with 'rpm
-Uvh' but until then...thank you for playing.

Thank you sir.  I will try that when I get home from work and let everyone
know if it works.

/etc/modprobe.conf.local is the right place for special module options, 
also for those which make it into initrd.
