Description of problem:
My system is an Athlon 700 with 320MB RAM, on a Jabil Kadoka
motherboard (AMD 751 Irongate chipset), with 2 hard drives.

I've been having a couple of issues with the amd74xx module when
installing the new kernel. Whenever I attempt to install kernel
version 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 (also happens with 2.6.6-1.435.2.1), via rpm
or after compiling it from the source using the appropriate pre-made
config file (kernel-2.6.6-i686.config), mkinitrd fails with this message:

No module amd74xx found for kernel 2.6.6-1.435.2.3, aborting.

mkinitrd is correct in that the amd74xx module doesn't exist....
because by default it's compiled into the kernel as opposed to being
compiled as a seperate module. If I recompile the kernel, compiling
amd74xx as a module instead, mkinitrd doesn't complain, and finishes
its job. I should note that version 2.6.6-1.435 of the kernel (the
version I used before *.2.3 and *.2.1) did not have this problem.

Another problem I've been having (though I'm not certain what impact,
if any, it's having on my system) is this message everytime I boot
with the new kernel, after using the above workaround of course. It
appears shortly before rhgb takes control:

AMD7409: port 0x01f0 already claimed by ide0
AMD7409: port 0x0170 already claimed by ide1

to add a bit of context from the kernel's log file:

AMD7409: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:07.1
AMD7409: chipset revision 3
AMD7409: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
AMD7409: 0000:00:07.1 (rev 03) UDMA66 controller
AMD7409: port 0x01f0 already claimed by ide0
AMD7409: port 0x0170 already claimed by ide1
AMD7409: neither IDE port enabled (BIOS)

Again, this message doesn't show up when I boot version 2.6.6-1.435 of
the kernel. Apparently, some things have changed in this module to
cause it to misbehave on my system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.6-1.435.2.3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install the pre-compiled kernel, or compile kernel with default
config file and run mkinitrd
2.wait for mkinitrd to complain about missing amd74xx module
