Thanks, but in this case, that's not it.

[steven@spc1 linux-2.6.0-test1-mm2]$ grep ^CONFIG_IDE .config
CONFIG_IDE=y
CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y
CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y

I may try to build the kernel with another compiler. Severn has this
fairly new gcc:
[steven@spc1 etc]$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3 20030715 (Red Hat Linux 3.3-14)
