Created attachment 99680 [details] config file Here's the file I use to build. This file has the piix module set to be loaded not built-in -- it also fails in that mode.
More info: I didn't use the pre-built .config file, just ran make xconfig after a make mrproper to generate the initial .config file. I assume the new xconfig scripts attempt to reduce the compile time by only deleting known, used devices.
You need to include ata_piix, not piix as a module.
Why didn't make xconfig do the right thing then? it seems that there's a module/driver discovery problem when generating a .config file from scratch. I did a "make mrproper" followed by a "make xconfig", saved the generated config and tried to compile. I thought that the .config should be complete and not needing manual tweaking.
