It gets to grub, then about half the time it completes the boot
process. The other half, it either hangs or panics.
It's not really important... the only reason I was going to use the
SATA drive anyway is it was the only one I had on hand that was a
reasonable size... but I then found a 120-GB IDE drive and used that.
The motherboard is a Tyan from back in the early days of on-board
SATA controllers so I suppose there could be some bugs in there that
ding up Linux's SATA driver. I haven't tried just using it as a
second (non-boot) drive on Linux; when I had all this trouble I just
reformatted it with NTFS and stuck it in our Windoze server.
