I've changed the kernel options:

        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD64X=m
        CONFIG_PATA_CMD64X=m

and put them (in the init ramdisk) far behind USB and other modules. Now  
I can boot with the one HD in the laptop itself and another in the  
Ultrabay of the 2631 dockingstation - they are shown as "/dev/hda" and  
"/dev/hde" respectively. Fine.

The IDE controller Intel PIIX4 isn't included as module, it's hard  
included (please excuse my gerlish).

Maybe I don't need "PATA_CMD64X". But that seems no urgent problem.

Viele Gruesse!
