i am talking of *both* methods. i don't remember anything *exactly*
but with genkernel i had exactly same weired problems when i didn't
choose VIA PATA in my kernel while compiling manually. i tried 2 times
and after that i quit generkernel and decided always to do a
transparent manual kernel-compilation.
