I tried kernel 2.19 and the new libata PATA drivers and all seemed to
work fine, execpt I too got the same kernel panic with not
finding /dev/hd[a-z][0-9]+.  I think the names of these device nodes
might have changed?  I'm not sure but my theory is that if i would have
used the older ATA drivers instead, things would have been fine.  

People _Are_ running the 2.6.19 kernels successfully.
