Current Debian kernels get PATA support using the libata facility
(see CONFIG_PATA_* in the .config).  Please attach messages from
your failed boot, as collected with netconsole or a serial console,
or, failing that, a photograph of the screen.

Please also attach full "dmesg" and "lspci -vvnn" output from a
successful boot so we can get to know your hardware.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
