If you think this is a good idea, then you should try submitting a patch for it. The file you want to modify is drivers/ata/Kconfig. It should be pretty obvious what to change. There is lots of info online about creating patches. - Brian Waters On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 1:18 PM, James <bjlockie(a)lockie.ca> wrote: > CONFIG_SATA_AHCI > │ This option enables support for AHCI Serial ATA. │ > │ │ > │ If unsure, say N. > > CONFIG_ATA_SFF: │ > │ │ > │ This option adds support for ATA controllers with SFF │ > │ compliant or similar programming interface. │ > │ │ > │ SFF is the legacy IDE interface that has been around since │ > │ the dawn of time.
