You need to have acpi=off on the boot line. This will let your kernel
(or installer kernel) boot but your SATA drives will appear as old-style
PATA and be just as slow.
I used to have a 100 Mhz Pentium (actually, I think it's still around
here some place) that could manage 9 Mbytes/sec off its disk.
This was doing around 2. This commandline fixes it:
ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 pci=nomsi,nommconf hda=noprobe
hdb=noprobe hdc=noprobe vga=794
though I was a little surprised to find the drives renamed.
Probably, all should use the three hd? parameters, this particular
machine came with two 80 Gbyte drives.
Coincidentally, I'm in the hills, literally overlooking Perth.
