[okl4-developer] okl4 off the disk

I'm running ubuntu hardy (linux-2.6.24-16-generic) on it.

"lspci -vv" output says the IDE/SATA controller is ICH8 based :
IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) IDE
Controller (rev 03)
 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) SATA
AHCI Controller (rev 03)

M-ICH8 is supported in okl4linux-2.6.14/wombat (drivers/ata/ata_piix.c)

However,  "l4linux_config_ia32_vga" (the l4linux menuconfig file) says:
# CONFIG_IDE is not set
# CONFIG_RAID_ATTRS is not set
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_DMA=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y


How do I change the config options of the kernel?

Thanks,
Ashish
