No, that didn't help.  Thanks for the suggestion though.

I've been doing some Google searches.  Looks like Intel changed the
peripheral chip for the CPU after releasing the spec to the
manufacturers, so it doesn't remember to initialise the IDE PCI
controller properly.  There is some work going on for the 2.4.20 kernel.

I'll try and figure out how to patch a standard 2.4.19 kernel to
2.4.20-10ac tomorrow.  My first attempt failed dismally.

At least the system is running, though.
