For the archives:
Pertinent system details:
Asus P55TVP4 mainboard, latest official BIOS
w/Intel 430VX PCI chipset
Quantum LPS270A IDE hdd (/dev/hdb1)
Through rigorous testing, the following .config lines must be set
differently than the stock 2.2.19-3-LEAF kernel:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD=n
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE=n
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
This could be due to either the mainboard or hdd, or both ;>
NOTE: It's been along time since I've been bitten by this; but, it is
absolutely imperative that one of the 'make config' processes be run
prior to any 'make zImage', when run on a brand new, pristine
/usr/src/linux -- otherwise, 'make __Image' will *not* work ;>

Dare to fix things before they break . . .
Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know. The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
