Thanks,
I was very skeptical that it would work. But simply installing the
2.2.9.uniform-ide-6.19.kilo.patch
was sufficient to correct the problem. My system boots now regardless
of whether I enable the PIIX option. Although, I decided to use the
kernel with it enabled, just to see if I actually get a performance
boost out of it.
The only problem I had with the 2.2.9 kernel once adding the 2.2.9.uni...
patch is that 'make menuconfig' didn't list the option to enable mouse
support or the 'mice' submenu. However, I found the way around the problem
is to instead run 'make config'. Once mouse support is enabled, it shows
up with 'make menuconfig'.
So now I'm a happy 2.2 kernel user. And I'm even happier to know that
this patch is generally available, and I didn't have to do any strange
hacks.
