If the device is not the primary IDE controller (hda-hdd) you can set CONFIG_IDE = y, include drivers for your other controller and get some debug info. Usually "it didnt initialize" reports are from people with mixed old/new IDE in their kernel or initrd, or initrds missing the required modules. Stick a printk in pdc_init before the pci_register_driver call and you'll know for sure if the module is getting loaded. If it is then send me an lspci and I'll have a deeper look Alan
