This what grep SATA kernel-config says:

# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA is not set
CONFIG_SATA_PMP=y
CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=m
CONFIG_SATA_SIL24=m
CONFIG_SATA_SVW=m
CONFIG_SATA_MV=m
CONFIG_SATA_NV=m
CONFIG_SATA_QSTOR=m
CONFIG_SATA_PROMISE=m
CONFIG_SATA_SX4=m
CONFIG_SATA_SIL=m
CONFIG_SATA_SIS=m
CONFIG_SATA_ULI=m
CONFIG_SATA_VIA=m
CONFIG_SATA_VITESSE=m
CONFIG_SATA_INIC162X=m

lspci says:
00:12.0 SATA controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 Non-Raid-5 SATA

So, what must I set?

Thanks for the help.
