Good input thanks. I did get it working. It was an IDE selection I missed. >From the lspci -vv you mentioned (aggravating because I knew that since long ago) shows: 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) IDE Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 8a [...] Kernel driver in use: PIIX_IDE Here is the part that throws the monkey wrench in: make menuconfig /PIIX_IDE No matches found. Without fiddling around more I'm still not sure which setting it is. One of the settings checked here I think: | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | --- Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers | | | | [*] ATA ACPI Support | | | | [ ] SATA Port Multiplier support | | | | < > AHCI SATA support | | | | < > Silicon Image 3124/3132 SATA support | | | | [*] ATA SFF support | | | | < > ServerWorks Frodo / Apple K2 SATA support | | | | <*> Intel ESB, ICH, PIIX3, PIIX4 PATA/SATA support | | | | < > Marvell SATA support Now that I got things to boot... I'm sick of looking at this stuff... hehe
