It does not matter if adding hint.ata.1.disabled=1 in /boot/device.hints or setting this variable at boot time, ata1 will still configured. Is possible completely disable ata device?

The reason to disable ATA is becasue if I use only SCSI or USB, there is not need to have ATA module in kernel to take memory space, -Jin
