I think you're fixing the wrong problem. The real problem is hiding devices attached to some controlers between one kind of the controllers. This has been correct whern they were bus- specific, but since they are now shared by three busses, they should get their own menu called "(S)ATA/USB/SCSI attached devices" - or whatever a native speaker would suggest. Besides that, if I imagine being a semi-novice and searching for IDE support, I would have a hard time finding the IDE menu, and asuming PATA to be non-experimental one day, I'd have a hard time deciding which of the drivers to use. Maybe the SATA-drivers should be put above the old PATA menu, amd maybe both of the titles should include "(E)IDE"? BTW: For CONFIG_ATA, you can replace "(!M32R && !M68K || BROKEN) && (!SUN4 || BROKEN)" with "(!M32R && !M68K && !SUN4 || BROKEN)" BTW2: I think that menu needs very much reordering. "Block devices" should be renamed to "Other block devices", AGP support should belong into graphics support, and many other things I don't even know need to be pushed around. Even ordering by name would be better than the current situation! But it should be done by someone knowing these devices, I could only do a part. -- Top 100 things you don't want the sysadmin to say: 14.
