Under the Serial/Parallel ATA section is a section specifically for |
| 18 |
legacy IDE devices; it's listed as "ATA SFF Support". |

From there you just need to pick the correct DMA interface; most likely |
| 21 |
yours will be somewhere in the Bus-Master DMA list, "ATA BMDMA Support", |
| 22 |
with whatever IDE chipset you have. |

You'll also need to enable SCSI CD-ROM support even if your CD-ROM isn't |
| 25 |
SCSI; I'd also recommend not enabling SCSI Generic support unless you |
| 26 |
absolutely have to; for some reason my CD-ROM drive kept getting hooked |
| 27 |
up to the sg driver instead of the sr driver, and udev didn't believe it |
| 28 |
was a CD-ROM anymore. |
