Geert,

add to "fs/partitions/msdos.c"

#ifdef CONFIG_IDE
#include <linux/ide.h>
#endif /* CONFIG_IDE */

replace all

#if defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE) || defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODULE)
#endif /* (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE) || (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODULE) */

with

#ifdef CONFIG_IDE
#endif /* CONFIG_IDE */

Then tell me what happens, this fixed the issue but I have not submitted
it yet......nailing other boogers!!!!!!!
