Hi,
 I haven't been able to boot 2.3.1 and later because it fails to
 detect my IDE hard disks. The boot messages go something like this:
"
SIS5513: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 01
SIS5513: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0x4000-0x4007, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
request_module[block-major-3]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device 03:03
"
and then everything stops. Here is my .config:

My system is a AMD K6-2/333 with 64mb SDRAM, SIS5513 IDE chipset,
Quantum Fireball EX disk drive. Works with 2.2.8 and all previous
kernels. Output of lspci:
"
00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems 5591/5592 Host (rev 02)
00:00.1 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems 5513 (rev d0)

"
Does anybody have any idea of what the problem might be? I'd be happy
to supply more infromation if needed.
