The CONFIG_PARIDE_PARPORT is just a "test" variable, it doesn't turn
on/off anything in the code, just when the config stuff is going on.  From
what I remember of drivers/block/Config.in, that's prolly a good thing
that it's set.

It sounds like you accidently set the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE to Y in the
arch-spec area (where early BootX Text and TotalImpact card support is).
This ugliiness is fixed by one of the ide patches in the patches dfir on
nmt.
