In case anybody is still interested in this old IDE stuff: I wanted to boot a recent kernel on an old machine and failed. The last kernel that worked was 2.6.27.

(Or is oldfashioned IDE considered broken these days?) Google gives me many people with the same problem (e.g., http://bugs.gentoo.org/253628) but no remedy. I have not looked at the code yet.
