Hm, 440BX (or rather the 82371EB southbridge) won't do SATA. However, I posted a patch for IDE a few minutes ago. Using that patch I can successfully boot a kernel now... If you can get as far as FILO, then you probably might have luck with the kernel, too...
Good to know... I'll post this info on my website and will have to leave off at this point until I'm back in a few of days.
Well, it just hit me, yes the 82371 won't do SATA, but this is an SATA pci add-in card. From what I've seen, these are usually handled as SCSI, but it might have just been the Config.lb file as you just posted.
grrr... wonder if I'll try to ack the patch with a couple of minutes left.
