Auto-configuration question

[Paul Goyette <paul%whooppee.com@localhost>]

I've got a custom kernel which contains the following lines:

        {163} config -x | grep ixpide0
        ixpide0         at pci0 dev 20 function 1
        atabus8         at ixpide0 channel 0
        atabus9         at ixpide0 channel 1
        {164}

Yet for some reason, when I boot this kernel, it does not want to 
configure atabus8 and atabus9:

        {164} dmesg | grep ixpide
        ixpide0 at pci0 dev 20 function 1: ATI Technologies IXP IDE Controller 
(rev. 0x00)
        ixpide0: bus-master DMA support present
        ixpide0: primary channel configured to compatibility mode
        ixpide0: primary channel interrupting at ioapic0 pin 14
        atabus at ixpide0 channel 0 not configured
        ixpide0: secondary channel configured to compatibility mode
        ixpide0: secondary channel interrupting at ioapic0 pin 15
        atabus at ixpide0 channel 1 not configured
        {165}

It's not really hurting anything, since the ixpide ports do not appear 
to be attached to any physical connectors on the motherboard (if it 
matters, this is an ASUS KGPE-D16), but I was just surprised to see the 
"not configured" messages.
