kernel compiling

I'm having problems with kernels 2.6.19.3 and later on my SX164. They
compile
okay but when booting the kernel fails to recognize the 2nd IDE drive.
The SRM
has no problem. I boot off the 2nd drive. I receive the following during
the boot
process (from kern.log):

The kernel doesn't see my drive at ide1.

Any suggestions?

Are drivers compiled as modules ?
If yes, try to include straight to kernel, I had slightly problems with PDC
and CMD drivers. Didn't worked so well when compiled as modules.

No, they are included straight into the kernel (see part of .config below)

CONFIG_PCI=y
CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
# CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
# CONFIG_NET_PCI is not set
# CONFIG_SERIO_PCIPS2 is not set
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PCI=y
# CONFIG_RADIO_GEMTEK_PCI is not set
# PCI devices
# CONFIG_SND_CMIPCI is not set
# CONFIG_SND_YMFPCI is not set

CONFIG_IDE=y
CONFIG_IDE_MAX_HWIFS=4
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
# Please see Documentation/ide.txt for help/info on IDE drives
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
# IDE chipset support/bugfixes
# CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPNP=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
# CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_FORCED is not set
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
# CONFIG_IDEDMA_ONLYDISK is not set
# CONFIG_IDE_ARM is not set
# CONFIG_IDE_CHIPSETS is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
# CONFIG_IDEDMA_IVB is not set
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
# Old CD-ROM drivers (not SCSI, not IDE)
# CONFIG_CD_NO_IDESCSI is not set

This worked for kernel 2.6.19.2.

Also add:

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CY82C693=y

CMD and PDC are known to have bugs. In menu config, you will find
specific information about those; expecially, there are "modules to fix
or block" those bugs: one does fix, other does desactivate chip.

I remember that a misconf on some x86 leaded me to the same problem
(using CMD integrated to mother board of a 486).

Check full log; sometimes, it may tell "desactivating THIS chip" or so.
