Please post the PCI ID for your device, and also try booting
on the ramdisk and obtain the dmesg output.

You don't need to, because the configuration for that is CONFIG_ATA_PIIX.
If you really nee to modify the configuration file,
normally, I copy the file to .config and run 

make ARCH=l4 SYSTEM=i386 

and then copy the resulting .config back.

You need to run make mrproper on the linux tree afterwards otherwise
it gets a bit confused.
