[mythtv-users] RH9 with SATA drive

[Carlos Fernandez Sanz]

Try booting with Knoppix instead.... it has the best hardware detection and
support I've seen.

I do use a SATA disk (only) on my mythtv box but the chipset is totally
different (intel 865 to be exact) so that means nothing to you.

a Seagate, and the motherboard uses Promise FastTrak 376 chip.

driver floppy but using this doesn't get me any further.  Do I need kernel
modules in order for this to work or is it just a BIOS configuration / setup
thing?  Or can a SATA drive even be used as a primary disk?
