Hello,
i did what you told me but as expected make outputs the following:
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig
.config:150:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for ATARI_PARTITION
...but I grep'ped /proc/kallsyms and it seems that ATARI_PARTITION type
is already registered. however, dmesg tells me "Unknown partition table"
when I put the CF card into my reader... :( I'll have to get along with it.

You also wouldn't need to recompile the kernel just for this.
Why do you think that? The Makefile says:
obj-$(CONFIG_ATARI_PARTITION) += atari.o
And all of the Partition types in fs/partitions ain't got functions like
module_init .... looks like this is a problem in the kernel.
If I could load it as module, I could have inserted debug messages into
it, without recompiling the whole kernel... ;)
On Ubuntu,
1. apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r`
2. Extract the bziped archived to /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`
3. cp /boot/config-`uname -r` /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`/.config
4. edit .config and set CONFIG_ATARI_PARTITION to m
5. While in /usr/src/linux-`uname -r` , run make fs/partitions/atari.ko
6. Copy fs/partitions/atari.ko to /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/fs/partitions/ and run depmod.
7. modprobe atari
Hope this helps,
-Joel
