In my case, CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC is neither builtin nor even configured :

  # CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC is not set

I wonder if we should build it modular.

But in any case, this patch solves the problem. It includes a bunch of
ide drivers though, not only the via one.

Now a question about these patches. Will you mae a new release, or

them ? 

Again, thanks for your help.
