I put a 2MB caching Promise IDE controller into my 486 and moved the
drives off the onboard IDE controller that this motherboard supports.
I disabled the BIOS settings for the onboard IDE, then restarted.

Under a current kernel built just two days ago, it fails to find wdc0
at 0x1f0, can't mount /root, and panics.

If I go back to my previous kernel built August 8, it can find it just
fine (which is what I'm using now) and 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14.

So something has changed in the probing at startup that is causing it
to miss the drives hanging off this older caching controller.
