Even though the drive is old it is still uses an ATA interface. I do not think you need to include you need to include them in the kernel. Did you try accessing the drive using the stock kernel?

I try recompiling kernel and passing parameters to kernel
hda=1049,16,63 hda=nodma hda=noprobe ide0=noautotuning ide0=noprobe

and don't work, in dos work fine.
the bios detect fine 1049,16,63

before compiling in:
make config
just in the drivers for ide/ata say something for old ide drives and i enable it

who is a stock kernel?
from some distro
i download the kernel linux-2.6.10 from kernel.org and compiling with gcc 3.4.1

By stock I mean the default kernel from the orginal install.
