I think it is a PATA hard drive and no SATA. It is /dev/hda then. If you
pass

linux sda=14589,255,63

it is just bogus and does nothing.

If with your sda parameter setting the install process runs through you
can go on. The only pitfall can be that you are again hit by the dual
boot problem and XP will not boot. But you can say only later for sure.
If it is the case we will then fix it (either using rescue mode or your
Knoppix CD).
