This board is driving me nuts. I use just standard IDE for my drives,
but the SATA BIOS is giving me headaches.
First, it's covering up my boot summary screen and by the time it goes
offscreen, it's in the post-boot summary and looking for boot devices.
Second, I think it's causing kernel panic in my Gentoo install. I've
been trying to get it installed for a week, and it always ends up with
a VFP Kernel panic : cannot mount root filesystem on hda4. My friend
and I have been through the fstab/ lilo.conf and recompiled the kernel
like a dozen times, and all I have left to think is that somehow the
SATA is interfering. I know Gentoo is hell to set up, but it's running
just fine on my otehr machine. The SATA is the only major difference
so it's really the only straw left to grasp at.
It runs fine in Win2k Pro.
So, what I want to know is if there is any possible way to disable the
SATA controller completely? I see nothing in BIOS to do so, nor any
mention in the manual either.
Any help is much appreciated.
