If you dont select this your kernel probably will not boot or will boot but DMA is off Unselect Promise Software raid (because we want a non-fasttrak ide box)
You certain about this. Many onboard promise chipsets are skipped if you fail to enable "Special FastTrak Feature". In any event there is no hard in enabling it. As long as you don't insert the ataraid module all you will ever see is non raid ide drives.
