Have you tried the IDE patch? it's somewhere on www.kernel.org in the people
subdirs...

Yours,

Subject: problem with menuconfig and ide controllers...


 My ide controller is a CMD Technology 646U2 DMA controller, but menuconfig
 will only allow me to select 'CMD640' and 'CMD640 Enhanced'.  I have read
 that the CMD646 driver will support DMA mode while the CMD640 driver
will
 only support PIO mode.  So, I would prefer to use the CMD646 driver even
 though that does not appear in the block-driver list from within
menuconfig.
 However, both the cdm640.c and the cmd646.c source files came with the the
 current version of my kernel-source (2.2.12).

 Should the CMD646 driver be appearing in my menuconfig block drivers?  Is
 there a way to get the CMD646 driver to appear in menuconfig?  If not, is
it
 possible to manually compile the cmd646.c source and apply the resulting
 driver to my system?  Is there an easier way to achieve the use of this
 driver, even at the expense of a total reinstall?

 Thanks in advance for any help.

  ^^^ 

That is not a current version at all.  I recommend you
to get a more recent kernel source version.  Looking at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2/ the current 2.2 kernel is
2.2.19, try to use that one.
