hi wayn
you need to make sure the the ide chipset swupported by the kernel you're using
- look at the motherboard, figure out what chipset and than check your kernel config options
- try installing that module for the chipset
"Look at the motherboard" is a little awkward. Try:
# lspci -v | more
and look for IDE information.
In my case, the output includes:
00:11.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. Bus Master IDE (rev 06) (prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP])
Subsystem: Micro-star International Co Ltd: Unknown device 7380
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32
I/O ports at ac00 [size=16]
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
Beyond that, Alvin's advice is good :-)
