The PIIX is an awkward case as in some > modes it combines both the SATA and PATA onto one 'device'. In looking through my config file, I don't see "CONFIG_IDE_PIIX". Below is a list of all the config entries that contain the patter "PIIX": CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y CONFIG_PATA_MPIIX=y CONFIG_PATA_OLDPIIX=y Any suggestions on how I may turn of the conflicting piix support? Perhaps set CONFIG_PATA_OLDPIIX to n?
