Make sure SCSI target support, SCSI device support, SCSI disc support, SCSI CD-Rom support and SCSI Generic support are built-in, as these are required to create the device node and provide the SATA-SCSI interface.

Since Jaeger gave me a talking to over the inaccuracy of the above statement, I'll point out that SCSI CD-Rom support, SCSI target support and SCSI Generic support are not "required" if all you want is the hard-disc.

But SCSI CD-Rom support is required in order to utilise a CD-Rom drive, SCSI generic support is useful for card-readers and screwy CD burners and SCSI target support I forget at the moment.

I enabled all these parameters as built-in. I think the problem is connected with the boot loading process. Maybe I should install and configure crux lilo or grub into the mbr or to the root at least. In the later case I should use chainloading in my original 'third party' grub menu.lst. Am I right? Balazs
