Hawking Technologies:

It uses the pegasus module.

I tend to use a pretty stock Debian kernel configuration unless I need
something it doesn't provide. Even then, I tend to just change what I
need to. Running the above commands on my kernel's .config yields:
CONFIG_IDE=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECS=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODES=y
CONFIG_VIA_RHINE=m
CONFIG_CD_NO_IDESCSI=y
CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y
CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX=m
CONFIG_MIDI_VIA82CXXX=y
But again, this is just a stock Debian kernel configuration, haven't
changed anything in this area. The only modification to it so far has
been to update the usb scanner drivers.
