    The DVD drive (Liteon 812S) is only used to boot the thing for now.

    I'm still looking forward to the Patch-CD for ix86 systems to be able to
    utilize enhanced mode for the SATA drives.

    http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/01/sata.html

    No don't need the IDE based drive, but I've read about problems with
    SATA-based drives !!

    But I'll unplug the IDE-based drive and give it a go :-)

    Think I allready tried that can't remember if I tested that yet.
    (embarresing ;-) )
