wget kernel -> bunzip -> un-tar -> copied old .config from another
working box in -> patched kernel to my IDE controller -> "make" ->
"make modules" -> "make modules_install" -> "make install" as far as I
recall...

Custom kernel works fine and IDE controller/disk (patched to use DMA)
is now seen as a DMA disk at boot and everything - but it still
displays
