For some reason, either in the case where I compile everything into the
kernel or as modules, there's no sign ata_piix has kicked in. When I
eventually make it into the initramfs shell, cat /proc/modules don't
show the necessary modules. If I load them I still don't see anything
in /dev/sd*. 

Another question I have is: does /boot/grub/device.map play any role in
this? The one in my machine reads:

(hd0)	/dev/hda

Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks,
Carlos
