Ah, now I read that in the right way. I didn't read it the way that it
is excepting each other. The reason I misread it was that I have a
system with a SATA hard drive and a PATA CDROM. So I read that I need
explicit both for both devices. Compiling the PATA stuff as module (or
not compiling with it) gets the issue solved.

Shouldn't there a excluding rule in the configuration?
