[mythtv-users] KnoppMyth - gave it a try, but...

[Thomas Baker]

I was able to do some googling to find out how to bring up the LILO 
prompt (it was just automatically booting before) and I tried using 
"linux root=/dev/sda1".  Unfortunately, it still panicked.  During 
installation it was seeing the partitions as SCSI (/dev/sd*).  Anyone 
out there successfully put KnoppMyth on SATA?
