Most of the above looks like old, deprecated
stuff from 5.x and earlier (the "controller wdc0"
line reminds me of 3.x or maybe NetBSD).

IDE drive support is all handled by ata(4), all
you should need for those in your kernel config
is:
device          ata
device          atadisk
device          atapicd
(and obviously:)
device eisa
device pci
Which are already part of GENERIC.

/usr/src/sys/<arch>/conf/LINT doesn't exist in 6.x.
Try looking at /usr/src/sys/<arch>/conf/NOTES
and /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES for knobs to twist
and buttons to push.
