This is probably because the 2.4.18 kernel has the driver as a module
that has to be loaded, but the installation kernel has it built-in. You
can by the way also switch to another 2.2.20 kernel:
apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.20
This one should have the ide-scsi driver. If you want more info on what
driver you need for your network card, check the output of dmesg from
the 2.2.20-idepci kernel. It will tell you which driver is used.
