I have tried hard to reproduce this, but even stock 2.6.39-rc1 works
fine for me here. Setup a KVM image with a debian 6 install, then
converted it to IDE and booting it with a custom kernel like you are.
Works fine, boots and I can do disk activity tests and it all works.

Can you send me your .config?
