It basically doesn't boot all the way. What I've done is (I'm running
Debian/Sid):

- Unset all the IDE stuff in the kernel configuration (CONFIG_IDE unset)
- Add what I think is all the necessary stuff to the kernel:

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y
CONFIG_PATA_MPIIX=y
CONFIG_PATA_OLDPIIX=y
CONFIG_PATA_LEGACY=y
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y

(I'm not sure which driver is relevant for ICH-4M chips)

The kernel stops at some point complaining /dev/hda1 (or /dev/sda1, if I
add that) doesn't exist, and sends me to a initrd shell. From there, I
can see there's no /dev/hd* or /dev/sd*.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Carlos
