Bug#271770: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7-smp: ATA detect failed on my AMD768 mb

[Asho Yeh <asho@debian.org.tw>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7-smp
Version: 2.6.8-2
Severity: normal

Hi

My machine is a dual althon mp box and motherboard is Tyan 2466-4m which
use the AMD768 southbridge.

My system is installed into a SCSI disk. The IDE disk is for backup
storage only.

I installed the kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7-smp from aptitude and couldn't
detect my IDE device after rebooting.

I googled some pages:
http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/970
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt
and found out I need to enable the

CONFIG_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
or
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AMD74XX=y

so that I can use my IDE disks with compiled in kernel.

Is the problem only occurs to me or the option should be changes in the
future?

I hope I did a well report...:-)
