Yes, I run also into that problem. - Installed to SCSI HD, - setup and build the new kernel with SATA, installed it to SCSI HD, - boot that new kernel and bingo, SATA HD's are working. - I have cretated partition tables and filesystems and the disks works ok During the next boot the system hangs in Grub. The reason seems to me that the BIOS find a valid partition on the SATA HD's and scrambled the order of the HD's. After changing the order in BIOS I was able to boot again. Yes, I was also confused - because I was sure, that the system was working before and I have nothing changed in the Linux Boot config. Happy X-Mas to all, Frank
