While switching from 2.6.19 to 2.6.20, one could put those arguments to
genkernel in the spec file:
livecd/gk_mainargs: --kernel-config=<youroldconfig> --menuconfig
Then when it comes to genkernel menuconfig, one would select the right options

But if one looks for an almost definitive support of SATA, one would better
copy <hisoldconfig> to /usr/src/linux/.config , run make menuconfig, rectify
the config, and use this one in catalyst/genkernel (That's what I did).
I'm being very explicit because 1° I'm a noob 2° it took me days to boot a
2.6.20 kernel on my SATA drive using make oldconfig. Hope I'll be the last!
