Unlike SMBFS, legacy IDE didn't get stripped from kernel sources prior to replacement by an as yet uncapable successor.
That won't help you if you have SATA discs only supported by libata, will it? And it's those I had in mind when writing 'no solution'.

I believe every SATA disk is supported via the old drivers/ide if you have the right controller and controller config. The problem is sata controllers. Most onboard motherboard controllers offer legacy mode. In that mode they use the a traditional hardware interface and drivers/ide works. I don't think any of the add-in card controllers offer legacy mode. FYI: To get optimum performance you likely need to use the newer sata specific modes that do require libata. (ie. AHCI mode is pretty common, but libata only.)
