Hello again,
Firstly, thanks for the great reply! I went into my .config file
and enabled all of the options quoted from above. The .config
file was too big to paste into the email, so below is an
excerpt of how I changed the file...
# Controllers with non-SFF native interface
#
CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y
CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM=y
CONFIG_SATA_INIC162X=y
CONFIG_SATA_ACARD_AHCI=y
CONFIG_SATA_SIL24=y
CONFIG_ATA_SFF=y
#
# SFF controllers with custom DMA interface
#
# CONFIG_PDC_ADMA is not set
CONFIG_SATA_QSTOR=y
CONFIG_SATA_SX4=y
CONFIG_ATA_BMDMA=y
#
# SATA SFF controllers with BMDMA
#
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y
CONFIG_SATA_DWC=y
CONFIG_SATA_DWC_OLD_DMA=y
CONFIG_SATA_DWC_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_SATA_DWC_VDEBUG=y
CONFIG_SATA_MV=y
CONFIG_SATA_NV=y
CONFIG_SATA_PROMISE=y
CONFIG_SATA_SIL=y
CONFIG_SATA_SIS=y
CONFIG_SATA_SVW=y
CONFIG_SATA_ULI=y
CONFIG_SATA_VIA=y
CONFIG_SATA_VITESSE=y
I basically just searched every term that had ATA and SATA and
put =y next to them (even the ones which were commented out)
However, I am still running into the same problem.
To double check what type of disk I had, I ran "lshw -class disk
-class storage" and found out that I have a SATA controller (I
really don't know what a controller is), and an ATA
disk. The output is shown below...
*-storage

product: Sunrise Point-H SATA Controller [AHCI mode]

*-disk

Also, it may be worth mentioning that when I did enable
all kernel options
I don't recommend that. There are literally thousands of drivers that you
do not need that will check for HW you do not have. Hence the extremely
slow boot process.
Just for checking, try using this kernel:
http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/~bdubbs/files/vmlinuz-4.11.0-lfs-20170507-nvidia
You will not have the /lib/modules support and it assumes a nvidia video
card, but it should still get you to a login prompt. If that works we can
go from there.
