No it should find it as soon as you load the module. If the device is
not the primary IDE controller (hda-hdd) you can set CONFIG_IDE = y,
include drivers for your other controller and get some debug info.

Usually "it didnt initialize" reports are from people with mixed old/new
IDE in their kernel or initrd, or initrds missing the required modules.

Stick a printk in pdc_init before the pci_register_driver call and
you'll know for sure if the module is getting loaded. If it is then send
me an lspci and I'll have a deeper look

The PDC20267 is the primary controller, I do not have CONFIG_IDE set.
The issue with my initrd was mkinitrd --with=pata_pdc202xx_old didn't
include sd_mod; setting scsi_hostadapter accordingly in modprobe.conf
took care of this.

Once the kernel booted the system was seemingly starting without any
problems until various services tried to write files to the root
filesystem.  Each write attempt resulted in a "Read-only filesystem"
error yet all filesystems were mounted read-write.

The kernel had a ton of errors:
