Not to sound too dense or anything, but is there a HOWTO for this kernel to
enable the libata code?
I've read through the Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt file, and seems
like all I have to do is include libata.atapi_enabled=1 combined_mode=libata
on the grub.conf line to enable it, but when I boot that kernel with that
option, I get an error message: 'Block device /dev/sda1 is not a valid root
device' and a 'boot() ::' prompt.
You shouldn't need atapi_enabled=1 anymore, and combined_mode only
applies if you're using an Intel controller with that
combined/legacy/AHCI selection braindamage. Did you select the right
driver options in the kernel configuration? You'll either have to
compile the driver(s) into the kernel or potentially do some
distro-specific magic to ensure the modules get loaded in the initrd.
