Built an universla kernel with alla PATA drivers and netconsole, to test
on some machines. Just finished building and tried it in qemu, with
different config than before. It still crashes in qemu. dmesg and
.config below. It seems to detect PDC20230-C/20630 VLB ATA controller
that is not there, and then crash in legacy_init(?).

Interesting. If you compile the legacy driver out does it then run
properly. If you've got an IDE class device legacy should not be loading
so I'll have a look at that.

Even stranger. I disabled CONFIG_SCSI_PATA_LEGACY and left all other SATA and PATA options to Y and not it does not detect any ATA at all in qemu - not even the PDC. Qemu is 0.8.0-2 Debian package, using command line
qemu -nographic -cdrom patatest.iso -hda hdd -boot d
hdd is a 800M image file.
