need help kernel config M4A785TD-EVO

Hi,

My SSD died the other day and I got a replacement (a samsung 840 128Gb). I re-installed but unfortunately I didn't keep a copy of my kernel config file so I am creating a new one but somehow I can't get it to work. I want it without a initrd. I also have an IDE drive (/dev/sda). The SSD is /dev/sdb.

I get a kernel panic on: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,18). I don't know what option I'm missing.

I have:
Device Drivers
  <*> Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers
      <*> ATA SFF support
          <*> ATI PATA support

Device Drivers
  -*- I2C support
      I2C Hardware Bus support
          <*> Intel PIIX4 and compatible (ATI/AMD/Serverworks/Broadcom/SMSC)

And also:
CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y

If someone can point me at which option I might be missing that would be great.

Thanks.

Re: need help kernel config M4A785TD-EVO

problem resolved. the default arch sees my ssd as /dev/sdb and the IDE as /dev/sda when my kernel sees it the other way around, the ssd as /dev/sda and the IDE as /dev/sdb.
