In initramfs prompt, please type "cat /proc/partitions".   This will 
show if the kernel could be able to detect your drive or not.  If not, 
please send the "dmesg" and "lspci -v" output to the list.

Also please read section 6.4 of README. Try adding "ide=nodma 
all_generic_ide" to kernel boot parameters to if it could help.

Please note that Voyage Linux kernel is trimmed down many modules that 
some ide drivers are not included.
