Thanks, Looks like I'll have to look into another path to take. :-((

actually, i take back my previous post. :) last night looking over the 'AutoInstall Instructions' on the KnoppMythWiki (http://knoppmythwiki.homelinux.org/) i saw this:
"If you get the error: /usr/local/bin/KnoppMyth-auto: line 608: / 1000000: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/ 10000000") this is probably due to your harddisk not supporting DMA, or you are using a serial-ATA (SATA) drive. In the latter case, your disk is not /dev/hda as KnoppMyth expects it to be You may need to start again and use knoppmyth ide=nodma from the boot: menu and in the case of an SATA drive ide=reverse. If both fails, check whether your BIOS comes up with a SATA legacy or SATA compatibility mode or similiar to turn your serail ATA into a PATA drive. If nothing helps, get yourself a parallel ATA drive and connect it as master to your IDE controller 0."
so Chris cleared up my misinformation that Linux may not support SATA drives, and hopefully this clears up any KnoppMyth SATA misinformation (and maybe SATA will have stronger support in the next version of KnoppMyth ;)
