In looking through my config file, I don't see "CONFIG_IDE_PIIX".
Below is a list of all the config entries that contain the patter
"PIIX":
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y
CONFIG_PATA_MPIIX=y
CONFIG_PATA_OLDPIIX=y

Any suggestions on how I may turn of the conflicting piix support?
Perhaps set CONFIG_PATA_OLDPIIX to n?

Thank you!
