Hi,

Yep, piix was configured as built-in, I don't use ramdisks.
And, the SD driver is configured built-in aswell.
Hence, this is more or less the same kernel config as I used with my
Gigabyte GA-VAXP Ultra mainboard. The things I changed in this new
config are:

- Enable SMP
- Enable ata_piix
- CPU Type set to Pentium II

And this config has clearly:

# CONFIG_ATA_PIIX is not set

Which for a PIIX4 chipset is what you want. Somewhat confusingly:

CONFIG_PATA_MPIIX=y
CONFIG_PATA_OLDPIIX=y

Should be "n", I've been told.
