33 Remove
34 Device Drivers ->
35 ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support ->
36 generic/default IDE chipset support
37
38 and
39
40 Device Drivers ->
41 Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers ->
42 Generic ATA support
43
44 from your Kernel config. You might be using generic drivers instead of
45 your specific drivers. Also double check all kernel options concerning
46 Disk controllers.
