Then all you probably need do is to set

   CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=m

Then compile and install the module.  Your kernel should be fine.
There should be a module HOWTO somewhere out there
<http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Module-HOWTO/index.html> that you can
follow.  But, it would involve something like:

   make modules_install

Then make sure /etc/modules and /etc/modutils/sd are set up ok.
Then reboot.

Note that if you're on Debian, there's a "Debian way" of doing stuff,
namely use "make-kpkg modules_image" instead of the regular kernel make.
