I was able to fix the problem.
Here is what I did.
I applied the patch
ftp://ftp.sa.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/ide-2.2.16/ide.2.2.16.patch.bz2
to the kernel sources and then in "make menuconfig" I enabled
"Use multi-mode by default" under "Block Devices\Include IDE/ATA-2 Support"
and compiled the kernel.
