Hi,
I just tried that, and as a result my cd/dvd isn't recognized at
startup; without generic IDE support, I get no IDE at all.  Dmesg has
no mention of hda being recognized.

After rebooting into my normal kernel, I just ran dmesg |grep IDE and got: 
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2
Probing IDE interface ide0...
Probing IDE interface ide1...
Probing IDE interface ide2...
Probing IDE interface ide3...
Probing IDE interface ide4...
Probing IDE interface ide5...
VP_IDE: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:0f.1
VP_IDE: chipset revision 6
VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
VP_IDE: VIA vt8237 (rev 00) IDE UDMA133 controller on pci0000:00:0f.1
VP_IDE: port 0x01f0 already claimed by ide0
Probing IDE interface ide1...

So perhaps i'm not using via82cxxx and am instead using the generic
IDE driver?

thanks,
Ric
