# IDE ATA ATAPI Block device driver configuration
# Select HAVE_IDE if IDE is supported
tristate "ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED)"
If you say Y here, your kernel will be able to manage ATA/(E)IDE and
ATAPI units. The most common cases are IDE hard drives and ATAPI
This subsystem is currently in maintenance mode with only bug fix
changes applied. Users of ATA hardware are encouraged to migrate to
the newer ATA subsystem ("Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA
(experimental) drivers") which is more actively maintained.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called ide-core.

bool "Support for SATA (deprecated; conflicts with libata SATA driver)"
There are two drivers for Serial ATA controllers.
The main driver, "libata", uses the SCSI subsystem
and supports most modern SATA controllers. In order to use it
you may take a look at "Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA
The IDE driver (which you are currently configuring) supports
a few first-generation SATA controllers.
In order to eliminate conflicts between the two subsystems,
this config option enables the IDE driver's SATA support.
