Yes, by me SCSI too in past.
 
Yes, I have burned many weeks also for AMD 64 Bit with Shuttle-Mainbord 
and SATA in combination with SCSI (Boot problems from SATA drive).
SATA drives are more silent than SCSI harddisks and cheaper. Additional 
are problems with IDEDMA on SATA. Filesystem crashs in combination with 
reiserfs and DMA mode.

And I have to work another things again in future.
But I found a configuration on a longer time which is working fine.
I wrote it already in this mailing list.
I hope that it stays.

Gruss
Lothar
and
Happy Christmas.
