I have learned that I cannot enable DNA unless my 2.6.8 kernel is compiled with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX selected but the option to make this selection has disappeared in make menuconfig. This happened once before and, when I learned what was missing, I found a backup version of .config which contained the option. I have saved that backup and so can recover by recompliing the kernel but I don't understand why this happens. In the backup version of .config there are 40 entries under IDE chipset support/bugfixes. In my current .config there are only 9. I have made changes in .config but nothing that I believe should have unselected and removed CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX.
I can repair the damage but would be very interested in a better understanding of why this occurred.

It requires the option BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI to be enabled before it appears in the menu.
Alternatively the make dependency system may still be in flux and there is the unlikely possibility of a configuration dependency error in make menuconfig.
Make xconfig (requires KDE dev packages) optionally shows inaccessible kernel options as greyed out. I don't know if that would be useful or not in your case.
