I was able to do some googling to find out how to bring up the LILO<br>prompt (it was just automatically booting before) and I tried using<br>"linux root=/dev/sda1". Unfortunately, it still panicked. During<br>
installation it was seeing the partitions as SCSI (/dev/sd*). Anyone<br>out there successfully put KnoppMyth on SATA?<br>-Tom<br><br>Yan Seiner wrote:<br><br>>Thomas Baker wrote:<br>><br>><br>><br>>>Thanks to everyone who replied to the "too good to be true" thread. It
