I'm trying to get debian booting on a Shuttle FN85G4 which I unfortunately bought with a sata disk.
I found several issues after booting the 2.6.5-i386 stock kernel (from an ide drive): * siimage ide and libata/sata_sil clash for the drive which then appears as sdc * I had dma timeout problems - non fatal on ide fatal on sata Against the dma timeout I disabled "io apic" (found on the web) and I removed the siimage ide drivers. Now it ran fine. Next I copied everything on the sata drive, made a chrooted lilo, rebooted and was happy for a short time. On a later boot I encountered the (now dreaded) Lilo timestamp mismatch. My next try was grub which worked half. The boot started but failed because at the time when the kernel tries to pivot_root to the root device /dev/sda1 the root device has not yet its name and cannot be mounted even though libata and sata_sil are in the kernel (not modules).
