Kernel26mm

So i tried installing the kernel26mm through pacman and during the build i get this....

==> Building image "default"
==> Running command: /sbin/mkinitcpio -k 2.6.24-mm -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/kernel26mm.img
:: Begin build

ERROR: module 'ide[-_]cd' not found
:: Parsing hook [filesystems]
:: Generating module dependencies
:: Generating image '/boot/kernel26mm.img'...SUCCESS
==> SUCCESS
==> Building image "fallback"
==> Running command: /sbin/mkinitcpio -k 2.6.24-mm -c /etc/mkinitcpio.d/kernel26mm-fallback.conf -g /boot/kernel26mm-fallback.img
:: Begin build

:: Parsing hook [sata]
:: Parsing hook [usbinput]
:: Parsing hook [raid]
:: Parsing hook [filesystems]
:: Generating module dependencies
:: Generating image '/boot/kernel26mm-fallback.img'...SUCCESS
==> SUCCESS

then following a shutdown it won't boot

mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES="pata_amd ata_generic ahci "HOOKS="base udev autodetect scsi pcmcia filesystems"

i tried adding IDE to my hooks to no avail. and my current mkinitcpio.conf works with the default kernel.

i am out of ideas as im fairly new to kernel level stuff. would appreciate any advice.

Also, does anyone have any other recommendations for patchsets that are geared toward speed and performance? maybe i should just build my own kernel....but it seems like alot of work.

Re: Kernel26mm

Starting with your last point, -mm is not geared towards speed and performance. The official description is here.

Try booting with the fallback initramfs image. If that works, regenerate the autodetected image and try it again.

kernel26zen in the AUR may be more like what you're looking for.

I stopped trying to use -mm. I get some errors compiling kernel26zen but w/e. I'll just wait until the package is updated in the AUR to try again. Thanks!
