Hm. I had this with a kernel > 2.6.16 under gentoo (before I
switched over). The solution was to compile GENERIC_IDE_SUPPORT into
the kernel. You'll find it under ATA-Devices in the device drivers
section.

did that for no avail. same problem.
...
# IDE chipset support/bugfixes
#
CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y

...

not sure if this help;

after I installed my custom compiled kernel, I don't have a
/boob/initrd.img-2.6.16.1 file. is this a problem?
