An excellent idea. Maybe someone has insight into the next hurdle... it looks like there is nVidia nForce3 support in 2.6.8.1 (sata_nv). I have built this kernel (make oldconfig and the like), but on boot I get a slew of messages (ata_) which seem to indicate that libata is not loaded. Which option do I need in my .config to get this built in ? I have also come across http://www.amdzone.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=2300 which would make me think I'm sol anyway...

The usual precautions apply (tested backups etc).
