didier@hp-dm1:~$ grep -i hpt /boot/config* CONFIG_SCSI_HPTIOP=m CONFIG_PATA_HPT366=m CONFIG_PATA_HPT37X=m # CONFIG_PATA_HPT3X2N is not set # CONFIG_PATA_HPT3X3 is not set It seems you have at least to declare the driver either built-in (=y) or as a module (=m) and rebuild the kernel (cf https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-building)
