Yes, those are just two different version of the AHCI driver. And you |
| 24 |
don't need either of them to boot, since AHCI is only one option for |
| 25 |
accessing IDE drives. On my systems that predate AHCI/SATA, for |
| 26 |
example, I just use the legacy interface: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
CONFIG_ATA_SFF=y |
| 29 |
CONFIG_ATA_BMDMA=y |
| 30 |
CONFIG_SATA_NV=y |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
But if AHCI is available, then obviously I'm going to use that instead. |
