Without owning any SATA hardware to test, I can only direct you to try a few things...

DSL v4.0 has the kernel supplied SATA modules available during boot as shown in the boot time available modules:

[/tmp]# ls  mroot/modules/scsi/
BusLogic.o      aic7xxx.o       gdth.o          modules.lst     sata_nv.o       sata_via.o      ultrastor.o
NCR53c406a.o    ata_piix.o      hptraid.o       ncr53c8xx.o     sata_promise.o  sata_vsc.o      usb-ohci.o
a100u2w.o       ataraid.o       ide-cd.o        ohci1394.o      sata_qstor.o    sbp2.o          usb-storage.o
advansys.o      atp870u.o       ide-scsi.o      pas16.o         sata_sil.o      seagate.o       usb-uhci.o
aha152x.o       dtc.o           ieee1394.o      pci2000.o       sata_sis.o      silraid.o       usbcore.o
aha1542.o       eata.o          initio.o        pci2220i.o      sata_svw.o      t128.o          wd7000.o
aha1740.o       ehci-hcd.o      libata.o        pdcraid.o       sata_sx4.o      tmscsim.o
ahci.o          fdomain.o       megaraid.o      psi240i.o       sata_uli.o      u14-34f.o
[/tmp]#

When you are dumped to a limited shell try:

insmod /modules/scsi/libdata.o
insmod /modules/scsi/ahci.o
insmod /modules/scsi/ata_piix.o
insmod /modules/scsi/sata_??

See if you get a hit.

Drive shouldn't matter, it's probably a problem with your chipset (some variant on nforce 5...)
Looking in sata_nv.c it looks like there are some references to it...
Web search shows: http://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86....ms.html ... so maybe try "acpi=off noacpi"

Thank you for this information.
I have tried again.

Also I have noticed, that it is possible to use " dsl sata " in DSL 4 alpha as boot parameter. Nevertheless, no difference to DSL 2.1 b.

Enclosed, I will show you what was shown on the display:

..

Checking for SATA....
None.
Scanning for USB devices.... Done.
Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit.

Additional builtin commands available:
   cat           mount     umount
   insmod    rmmod    lsmod

knoppix# insmod /modules/scsi/libdata.o
insmod: /modules/scsi/libdata.o

knoppix# insmod /modules/scsi/ahci.o
/modules/scsi/ahci.o: init_module:
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

knoppix# insmod /modules/scsi/ata_piix.o
/modules/scsi/ata_piix.o: init_module:
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

knoppix# insmod /modules/scsi/sata_nv.o
insmod: a module names sata_nv already exists

knoppix# insmod /modules/scsi/sata_via.o
/modules/scsi/sata_via.o: init_module:
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

knoppix#

//

I will try this thing with "acpi=off noacpi" next

Edit:

Also no success with the boot option " dsl acapi=off noacpi sata " only that it is slower, but with the same result.

The latest Knoppix Live CD is running without problems.
Is it still an issue with the 2.4.xx kernel ?
Maybe I should have voted for the 2.6.xx kernel :)
Will DSL-N also be continued ?

BTW, What is the difference than just setting the x=0 and y=0 ?

It's on bottom of that page -- valign and halign in the Tray attributes:
If anyone wants to change the tray to appear on top, edit the line beneath “additional tray attributes” that has x and y coordinates so it’s like this:
<Tray valign="top" halign="center" height="24">

Then it's just a matter of adjusting torsmo's y coordinate to 26 for a little "headroom."

With the tray at the top, I like the desktop icons along the bottom. Select left->right, bottom->up and then update or sort.

I did that and I like it for the most part. I'd post another shot but my host is down. Again.
