Not to sound too dense or anything, but is there a HOWTO for this kernel to
enable the libata code?

I've read through the Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt file, and seems
like all I have to do is include libata.atapi_enabled=1 combined_mode=libata
on the grub.conf line to enable it, but when I boot that kernel with that
option, I get an error message: 'Block device /dev/sda1 is not a valid root
device' and a 'boot() ::' prompt.

Thanks in advance,
Erik.
