hi all,

i just found this board although i've been posting similar questions over on the gentoo forums. i'm trying to use knoppix 3.3 with a SATA hard drive and all i get are errors-- segfaults, kernel panics, etc. i've tried to use the nodma flag and nothing seems to work.

my mobo is a Abit IC7-G and i've tried both the Silicon Image and ICH5 controllers, with the same results.

any ideas as to what the problem is?

thanks for any info!
patrick
