10 Key things to look for in menuconfig for Rocket133 might be:
11
12 (D)evice drivers
13 --> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support
14 --> --> SCSI emulation support
15 --> --> generic/default IDE chipset support
16 --> --> PCI IDE chipset support
17 --> --> Generic PCI IDE Chipset Support
18
19 Probably the only one that matters is (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HPT366=y):
20
21 --> --> HPT36X/37X chipset support (turn this ON as BUILT-IN)
22
23 Yes, the Rocket 133SB (Rocket133SB) HPT302 chip is apparently supported
24 by the HPT366.c file. You can find this by grepping the kernel sources:
25
26 # cd /usr/src/linux
27 # find . -print | xargs grep -i 'hpt302'
28 # grep -i 'hpt366' .config
