Well... I've tried this config: CONFIG_IDE=y CONFIG_IDE_MAX_HWIFS=4 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y CONFIG_ATA=m CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=m CONFIG_SATA_INTEL_COMBINED=y In other words: PATA PIIX built-in SATA PIIX as module No delay. /dev/sda continues to be /dev/sda.
