I have bought and AMD ATHLON 64 processor and an 120GB SATA HDD. Will DamnSmallLinux be able to use them?

I got my SATA 200 GB drive yesterday :P

Plugged it in and booted dsl.. and.. ehh.. well... couldn't find it..

Can anyone write a DSL SATA success story / "how to"?
... or can sata drives not be used with DSL?

You may have to modprobe the SATA loadable module for it to detect the drive since its on the raid portion

I dont believe it loads it as default
Man that would make one screamin a$$ fileserver!!!!

Perhaps THIS will help
A search at knoppix forums (DSL Mother distro) might help you find out if its capable of running it...such as

Seagate 80GB SATA drive works fine for me even without selecting different kernel at boot. It maps as /dev/sda, not /dev/hda. I have a very new motherboard however (VIA K8T800 based ABIT KV8), so I can even boot from SATA (in fact this is my only hard drive). If your harddrive is new, probably all you need is to create some partitions on it ("cfdisk /dev/sda" or whatever).


Hope that helps
