Hi,

I want to be able to boot from my SATA drive. Right now with the
EP-8VTAI I cannot, so I use it as storage. With that board I cannot
even boot from disk with the SATA attached so I boot from CD Lilo
rescue always.

So I am looking for recommendations for a Socket T intel-compatible
mobo: ATX form. Should be supported by Debian Sid, lm-sensors + sound.

I was thinking of using a Celeron D 340 Prescott processor.

It seems strange but such recommendations are hard to come by: I prefer
to order thru NewEgg and it has loads of reviews, but hardly any
mention Linux and I would like to avoid the last problem with the Epox
mobo I bought.

Thanks.

I don't have that board ( or know anything about it )
I did have some issues I was able to resolve booting
my sata drive with an abit board I've got.

What happens when you boot up with the SATA drive
attached?


It gets 9999's all over the screen.
I have to set the:
suppress-boot-time-BIOS-data
in lilo and then boot with the rescue CD and then select: "hard disk"
and then it boots OK.
But I have set "hard disk" as default so it makes little diff. booting
with the CD vs. HDD.
