Paul I notice that the kernel config file you present is using the "old" device ata lines - is the ATA controller a particularly old model?
If not, then the LINT kernel config file shows an alternative, viz device ata # just one entry for all ata controllers, no need to reference IRQs etc... device atadisk # for your IDE disks device atapicd # for your CD-ROM like devices You should comment out the ata0/ata1 lines before adding the above (and additionally, remove any "device wd*" lines in that section.) Then rebuild your kernel. Hope that helps.
