Drifting off topic somewhat, when I upgraded udev on my firewall box last 
week I was told I shouldn't have CONFIG_IDE set, so I recompiled the 
kernel without it and lo! a kernel panic during boot. And yes, I had 
changed hdas to sdas.

So udev is wrong in saying CONFIG_IDE should not be set - on that old P4 
box it has to be to get ICH4 drivers.
