Thank you. I took the CD-Rom out, so that's why it didn't show. Very observant!
My concern with disabling the new drivers is as follows: I use this linux kernel and config image to boot machines over PXE and call a shred program on each of the harddrives. If I turn off CONFIG_ATA, will this limit my ability to support various new IDE and SATA drives for running shred? So far, the configuration I have works well with most of the machines I encounter (and with both SATA and IDE drives), except for the Dell D610 and HP 7700 (small desktop pc). The models I just mentioned run the shred really slow, which I believe is due to the DMA problem I was having (outlined in my previous emails). Any thoughts?
