Well I just got a working kernel installed
I used the rsync-benh source and the config file from
www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~schmidtm/apple/config
It boots and finds my /dev/hdc11 just fine.
I checked the config file for the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC_ATA100FIRST
option but its not in that file.
So it now works but I don't know what in the new config made it work.
Thanks for the help and suggestions everyone.
