(A) You can't compile IDE as a module and enable ide-pmac.  There will

(B) Very closely tied to that, if ide-pmac is not enabled, a dummy
pmac_ide_init_hwif_ports() is compiled in pmac_setup.c.  But the real
version of this function (in ide-pmac.c) does more than just onboard
IDE specific tasks.  For PCI IDE cards it is still needed.  Enabling
ide-pmac eventually let me make use of the card.

This is because the ide-pmac option is general IDE support and onboard IDE
on the older macs.  It should be setup ALA x86, so that config_ide or
whatever does yes/no to IDE support and ide-pmac is pmac ide driver only.
The module thing was (i think) fixed or atleast worked around a while
back, check the linuxpp.cs.nmt.edu dirs..
