I know that it's difficult to get people to read docs & help text, and maybe it is needed in more places, but CONFIG_ATA (SATA/PATA) help text says:
NOTE: ATA enables basic SCSI support; *however*, 'SCSI disk support', 'SCSI tape support', or 'SCSI CDROM support' may also be needed, depending on your hardware configuration.
A popup makes some sense, but I don't know if menuconfig knows how to do popup warnings... and it needs to be done for all *configs, not just menuconfig.
