    Ok, two things to do... first off, mofidy the drivers/block/Makefile
    file at line 23... change:
        L_OBJS := genhd.o ide-geometry.o
    to
        L_OBJS :=

    Then... in your make menuconfig, under "General setup", make sure that
    you have "PCI support" (CONFIG_PCI) off.

    Let me know if this works for you. :)
