It lives! ... well, until the kernel gets to init. The kernel usually states my root partition is /dev/sda2 because of the usual add-in SATA pci card. However, Filo designates my drive as /dev/hda2.
So, the kernel gets to init and panics because it can't use the boot parameter device file /dev/hda2. I could be wrong here too, because from what I'm seeing, not many of my PCI devices are being found (ie. sound card... and possibly the SATA add-in pci card as well!)
(I've scanned over the session file pretty quickly... I'll be stepping out for the rest of the week and need to get ready.)
(There's more going on as you'll see within my session.log file. I believe there's one other kernel panic -- nvidia pci card, no biggy, or I think. I've also posted prebuilt roms for both motherboards along with session logs accordingly.)

Roger, is there any reason not to do this: 'hda2:/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 single acpi_irq_isa=10 console=ttyS0 ,115200n8'
filo and linux can call it different names.
Congrats. Very nice work.

Most of the credit goes to Uwe & Corey.
Although, I'd be glad to take the credit if it will boast my resume. ;-)

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...
Uwe.

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.
