There is a mystery option in menuconfig, something to do with ide task file or something similar. This only appears in the Suse'fied version not in the vanilla. If you tick it then it will compile.
Yes, it's the ide taskfile access. This allows to send the disk vendor specific commands. This is part of Andre Hedricks (you do know that name, don't you?) IDE patch we integrate.
As to whether it produces a usable kernel I don't think it does yet. But I guess it is work in progress...
It is a usable kernel, believe me. Philipp -- Penguins to save the dinosaurs -- Handelsblatt on Linux for S/390
