The help text is a bit confusing: config ATA_PIIX tristate "Intel PIIX/ICH SATA support" depends on PCI help This option enables support for ICH5/6/7/8 Serial ATA. If PATA support was enabled previously, this enables support for select Intel PIIX/ICH PATA host controllers. "Enabled previously"? -- Cheers, Alistair.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but SATA wasn't available on ICH4. Only 5 and greater. The kernel help text agrees with me. My IDE controller usually works with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX; I was interested in using your pata_xxx drivers in replacement, assuming there was support. pata_xxx is for older PIIX, not ICH4.
