7 Drifting off topic somewhat, when I upgraded udev on my firewall box last
8 week I was told I shouldn't have CONFIG_IDE set, so I recompiled the
9 kernel without it and lo! a kernel panic during boot. And yes, I had
10 changed hdas to sdas.

12 So udev is wrong in saying CONFIG_IDE should not be set - on that old P4
13 box it has to be to get ICH4 drivers.
