compile support for AIC7xxx into the kernel. I'd also compile all the
rest of the SCSI support in (generic, emulation, disk). Basically,
anything that you choose for SCSI should be compiled in and not modular.

Basically irrelevant, assuming that you compile all the various SCSI
pieces into the kernel. Although, if your only SCSI device is a burner,
you could go the modular route without any problems, since i doubt
you'll be booting off of the burner.

You'll prolly want to compile IDE support into the kernel, and possibly
play with the ATA stuff too for performance improvements.

See above.

Should be irrelevant, as this is an X issue, not a kernel issue ( i
think).

Make sure that you make this a module.
Overall, i'd say that your problem is just compiling way too much into
the kernel. Unless you're a monolithic kernel freak, there is no good
reason to compile support for non-critical hardware into the kernel (i'd
say a sound card is non-critical).
