nightmorph 08/06/22 01:57:09 Modified: kernel-config.xml Log: removed useless hdparm stuff, since we've moved to libata. now, this may still be useful if someone decides to use a non-gentoo CD as their installation environment, but, well, that ain't supported anyway. besides, probably the rest of the linux world has much more up-to-date kernels and CDs than we do, at least for a little bit longer.
