Getting kernel to boot on both IDE and AHCI mode

Getting kernel to boot on both IDE and AHCI mode

Hi,

I have a kernel that I downloaded from kernel.org and built myself with all the AHCI options I could find statically built into the kernel as I don't want to use an initrd.

The kernel boots up fine when I select AHCI mode in BIOS. However, when I select IDE, LILO gives a 99 99 99 error. I'm not sure what's wrong but is it due to a lack of IDE drivers in the kernel, even though the drive is a SATA drive?

I would like the kernel to boot in both AHCI or IDE mode if possible.
