Only 2.1 and 2.1b support sata and you must use the boot sata boot option

boot: dsl sata

Why was sata support removed from the newer versions of DSL?

seems strange. usually new versions support newer hardware and not the other way round..

Roberts, Would you please explain something about the meaning of Version?
for example: what is the meaning of 2.x and 2.xb and 2.x-embedded and 2.x-syslinux and 2.x-vmx ....?
