I followed the advice to not use the deprecated old PATA subsystem
ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED) --->
and use the ATA subsystem instead.
Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers --->
Unfortunately I needed several tries to find out, that I needed the SFF
menu I had not selected before because I had never heard that term
before. I think it would have helped me, to have PATA or legacy IDE in
that item’s name.
