I recently added a SATA drive to my desktop/dev system over christmas and it 
appeared as /dev/sda*. Must admit, the boot partition is still on an IDE 
drive - Another box that uses all SCSI drives boots OK, so based on the 
assumption that SATA emulates SCSI, I would have expected the current BDI-4 
kernel to work.

A couple of questions - Was this a fresh install with grub being installed in 
the MBR or was it copied over from an IDE partition wholesale ?

MoBo specs and chipset ?
(The JMicron chipset needs 2.6.18 or later to work properly, although I don't 
think that is an issue here.)
