Hi, I'm a long time reader, first time poster ;)
I think that I had this problem about a week ago when I was rebuilding
my kernel on a new Debian box. It turned out that the problem was that
if you compiled the kernel with ide_generic enabled, this module
'knocked' off any specific ide controller (this was with kernel 2.6.12 -
I think).
The way that I ended up fixing this was to do lspci and work out what
chipset was controlling the ide channel (from memory it was a VIA) and
then enabling this in the kernel and disabling the ide_generic module.
This worked for me, I am not guaranteeing anything for you - but if you
break it you get to keep both the pieces :)
