In your working dmesg the disks are controlled by ata_piix, but you've disabled CONFIG_ATA_PIIX in the config you're trying. So it's not surprising that you can't boot. 1) re-enable CONFIG_ATA_PIIX and disable CONFIG_IDE or 2) go into the bios and change the option that says whether to run the ATA controller in legacy/compatible mode or enhanced/ahci mode, you want ahci mode -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
