Hi Free, hi Tuukka,

I have a new idea...

Tuukka, do you have lines in the output of the 'lspci' command exactly 
like this:

IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) IDE Controller 
(rev 01)
IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GB/GR/GH (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA 
Storage Controller IDE (rev 01)

 From your lsmod output, I believe your motherboard has the notorious 
ITE8211 or IT8211 IDE controller. According to this page:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/ITE8211

this controller needs the following kernel modules in the config:

Intel PATA MPIIX support (PATA_MPIIX)

and/or

IT821x PATA support (Experimental) (PATA_IT821X)

neither of which are set in /proc/config.gz on my desktop machine (I'm 
running the latest 2.6.21 package from apt.64studio.com).

Cheers!

Daniel
