omg... ^^

well XD, so ok, I boot my old gobo install with old PATA HD so I could 
grab config file w/o SCSI builtin support,
I compared with my current install on SATA HD and the only unique 
difference is
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y #(y to SATA, m to PATA)
these are all about kernel 2.6.11.9

my only guess is that there is some problem with new kernel 2.6.16.20,
cuz I compiled it with same config option =y and it didnt work..
so I will postpone its install and work only with old kernel ^^

thx dude! ^^
