Not at all; I do it all the time.  My problem, though, is figuring out
what to enable and how to get it where it can even be enabled.  Libata
is making the internal 128MB IDE SSD appear as /dev/sda but the only
way I've been able to get the CF card to show up has *it* appearing as
/dev/hda.  I have BLK_DEV_IDEDMA [=n] in menuconfig's search function
but I can't find how to get it to even show up where I can change the
setting.
