But _did_ you copy the config file from the boot directory to
/usr/src/linux __first__ and rename it .config, i doubt it because if one
tries make oldconfig ___without___ doing that then the following option is
disabled;

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE

It gets set as;

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE=n

Which is quite possably and IMHO almost certainly your problem considering
the error message you wrote about, which was;

kmod:failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-22, errno=2
VFS:Cannot open root device "1605" or 16:05
Please append correct "root="boot option
Kernel panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on 16:05

You simply dont have support for IDE harddisks, or so it seems.

You asked a question to which you in turn were asked to answer questions
from others (in order to help you) __please__ do as you are asked, it may
and i belive will save bandwidth by means of unnessasary mails.
