You are probably using the old (now deprecated) way. I'm using the newer one. About GRUB, I've just checked and it has no prblems with SATA drives. I think it complained to me because normally SCSI aren't bootable (guessing, I've no actual idea how they work). I did `touch /boot/findme` and in the GRUB console typed `find /boot/findme` and it gave me the partition id. > > On Thu, 2 Mar 2006 20:27:24 +0100 > "Carlos Martín" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On 02/03/06, Brandon Peirce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I saw a question on this list recently about usb kbd and mouse, so > > > now I ask a similar question about SATA disks.... > > > > > > Most of the hardware passing accross my desk is pretty old and I have > > > working IDE and SCSI configurations under Linux.
