[SM-Discuss] Kernel upgrade (2.6.24)

Ok

I am running 2.6.19.5 and have /dev/sda[1-6]

Yes I have chosen both AHCI and ata_piix which used to then get me the 
option mentioned below.

Unfortunately as of around 2.6.21 or so they have removed this option 
even with the combination above.

I have also tried selecting ALL options in the SATA section of the 
kernel config and still
no joy :(

So I am not sure, as I can find no literature to support why it was 
removed, whether I am supposed to
still have a /dev/sdaX device for my SATA connection or if this is no 
longer required.

I hope this is a little clearer
