Hopefully this the right forum to post to as opposed to Linux General:

When trying to build the 2.6.24.4 version of the linux kernel using GCC 4.2.3 I get the following error:
"No pata_ali module for linux 2.6.24.4"
when trying to create the initrd using mkinitrd.

What is the "Option/Item" that needs to be set in the "make menuconfig" for the pata_ali module?

Thanks

Device Drivers 
  -> Serial ATA and Parallel ATA
    -> ALI PATA support

An even easier method is to edit the .config file in the kernel directory, searching for PATA_ALI. Assuming it is not commented out, you should be able to just change the 'y' or 'n' to a 'm'
