12 Grepping .config is a bad way of looking for options. If option A
13 disables B, A will appear as not set and B will not be mentioned. The
14 proper way is to use the / key to search in make menuconfig, which will
15 show you that you need ATA_SFF enabled to see many of the PATA and SATA
16 drivers now.
