In that case, do "make menuconfig" and in the "ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support" ->
"IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices" section make sure asterisks appear next
to "Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk..." and "Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support".
In the "File systems" section, put an asterisk next to "Second extended fs
support".
In the "Block devices" section, put an asterisk next to "Normal floppy disk
support".

You still would have needed to check for the above three things, but you
could have saved installing another kernel image. No matter, they're as easy
to purge as they are to install. :)
