kernel 2.2.17 and ide patch

[tjm <tmollica@silcom.com>]

Hello.  
I recently installed a 2.2.17 kernel from kernel.org
and I have this working OK.  I have installed the
ide patch from potato, selected what I wanted in the
configuration, compiled and installed the kernel and
it works, for a short time.  After a while, it corrupts
the screen and, although the ide stuff is recognized
on boot, trying to mount /dev/hda1 results in an invalid
device message.  The ide drive is being used for extra
storage only, no OS on this drive, the system is booted
from a SCSI drive and I'm using a stock Potato installation
with updates.

Any suggestions for more documentation and the right
combination of kernels and patches?

thanks,
