Please double-check that your config changes didn't disable it, but otherwise: > Now 2.6.14 works with exactly the same lilo.con, > where I have root=/dev/sdd1 (SATA drive) please specify _which_ SATA driver you are using so that Jeff & co can try to figure out what broke since 2.6.14. Also, if you can pinpoint where it broke better, that probably helps (most sata changes were in -rc1, but there were some sata_mv and sata_sil4 changes in in -rc2 too, so even just poinpointing it to either of those will help, although the daily builds might be even better).
