Basically yes, but not for problems with compiling your own kernel. That's clearly stated in Appendix H of the manual. Our support would only point him to the precompiled kernel, which, as stated, does work.

Works, up to a point! I don't think it is valid to cut off support when the product you deliver cannot recreate the precompiled kernel when that is so often required to undertake many of the tasks in which Linux obviously outshines other OS possibilities. It comes close to a bait and switch to lure someone in with a slick kernel that does everything and really gets someone converted from the evil empire, only to have the promise fall apart when the system can't be tailored to a specific task as many of the published HowTo's describe. All I wanted was a way to reproduce the delivered kernel. You chose not to provide that information, either in suitable source code or technical note in your tech support site to direct me on how to achieve similar results. If it were not for some wise folks on this list I would be very distressed over the state of Linux affairs, and my ability to rely on it.

The problem is the last option does not appear in my 6.3, kernel 2.2.13 configuration, either through 'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig'. Do I need to get a later copy of the distro or did I do something wrong when I installed the source.

in the kernel configuration, recompile, reboot -- that's all. If you want you can then use hdparm to tune some settings.

Make sure you have the following enabled in Code maturity level options: [*] Prompt for developement and/or incomplete code/drivers and in block devices: [*] Other IDE chipset support.

Plus `[*] PCI support'. If this doesn't help, try deleting /usr/src/linux/.config, and starting your kernel configuration from scratch.
