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.
What goes wrong is that the disks are no longer detected on 2.6.28.
I see that 2.6.28 had a lot of changes in this area.
Maybe this just needs a new boot option I overlooked.
(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.
