I'm running my system on SATA right now. It's not on LFS, but it should work the same. SATA goes through SCSI at the moment, so it will be /dev/sd* and IIRC they behave just like SCSI disks. GRUB didn't want to find my disk saying it didn't have a BIOS enumeration, but I havent tried all that much. In the SCSI menu you need to activate SATA support and then the driver for your controller. -- Carlos Martín Nieto http://www.cmartin.tk "¿Cómo voy a decir bobadas si soy mudo?" -- CACHAI -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
