Couple of quick things I learned when doing this on a current
system recently.

1) Be sure you BIOS is set to EPP and NOT ECP. 
   - for me everything looked fine but it didnt probe the drive
2) dont forget to have sd in your kernel
   - ditto (actually it took me awhile to figure this out)
3) be sure ppc is ENABLED in the kernel not disabled :)
   - Doh!(TM)
