And, alas, I do have problems with exactly that code. Background:

I've been trying the -ac kernels for quite some time now, but on my
new Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 they all fail miserably.

I made three screenshots which illuminate the problem:

* 2.4.20/2.4.19/2.4.20-ck1 all boot OK, the old IDE code detects my drives.
* 2.4.19-acX, 2.4.20-ac1 or 2.4.21-pre1 boot, but then fail to detect my drives.

My /etc/lilo.conf contains as addiditonal boot parameters only:

append="hdc=ide-scsi max_scsi_luns=1 video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr"
