Did you make a "make oldconfig"? Yes, I did, but probably answered "n" to the question about ATA_SFF :-(

If option A disables B, A will appear as not set and B will not be mentioned. The proper way is to use the / key to search in make menuconfig, which will show you that you need ATA_SFF enabled to see many of the PATA and SATA drivers now. I just didn't know about the / key. Very useful. Thanks Neil. :-) PS: are there any other keys one should know about?
