The problem persists despite having installed a more suited kernel (k7
since it's an AMD system). I'm really at a loss here, and I am not able
to provide more info--I'm dropped in a BusyBox without a working
keyboard :(

My CDROM turns up at /dev/hda, but I didn't see any messages regarding
SCSI (AFAIK SATA is "handled through" the SCSI driver). I suspect there
might be some kernel option to put in menu.lst that solves this, but I
can't find anything through Google... I'm open for any suggestions...

Oh, BTW, Breezy works just fine on this system, without any special
tuning relating to SATA HDD.
