Unforch, its failing: No module pata_amd found for kernel 2.6.24, aborting. mkinitrd is just a shell script. Even if its options, and there is a quite a number of these, do not allow to influence a choice of modules in a desired manner, it is pretty trivial to make yourself a custom version of it and just hardwire there a fixed list of modules to use instead of relying on general mechanisms which are trying hard to guess what you may need. That way your regular 'mkinitrd' will build something to boot with libata and 'mkinird.ide' will use IDE modules for that purpose using the same core kernel. If you are using distribution kernels, as opposed to your own configuration, it is quite likely that you will need to install 'kernel-devel' package and recompile and add required IDE modules yourself as those may be not provided. This is done the same way like for any other external module.

Again! AFAICT the current rc kernels should boot using 'pata_atiixp' driver _provided_ I will use 'acpi=off'. At least on the hardware in question. More details at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229621#c10 OTOH I mentioned few times that another machine, which want to use 'pata_via' fails to read _anything_ from a disk. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234650 Mentioned there 2.6.20-1.3054.fc7 really corresponds to 2.6.21-rc6-git1 (AFAICT).

A kernel, which for all practical purposes is 2.6.21-rc5, not only refuses to boot (and I cannot find some option combination which would allow me to do so anyway) but simply refuses to read _any_ data from a media. This included a partitioning information. Earlier kernel on the same hardware boots without raising any fuss. Details are collected as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234650 If I understand this correctly, a plain 2.6.20 kernel is already broken? You mean that a quoted report talks about 2.6.20-1.3025.fc7 kernel? These are vagaries of kernel version numbering in Fedora. Changelogs are not that clear but it appears that 2.6.19-1.2911.6.4.fc6 will be actually closer to 2.6.20. That kernel from a bug report is really, for all intents and purposes, 2.6.21-rc5 (if I am not misreading something). I am afraid that I do not have at this moment an easy to way to check plain 2.6.20 on the hardware in question. It appears that the essential difference is that a working kernel is using and old IDE driver, and sees the drive - in this case - as /dev/hdc, while the current one tries to go through libata and chockes uncontrollably.
