FYI,
Based on the DSL2.0RC1 kernel config file, SATA support was not switched "ON" before kernel compiling. I could be wrong, but it appears that SATA is still not supported in 2.0RC1. So you still need to use something like Troniks unofficial DSL remaster in order to use SATA controllers.
It is unfortunate, because in my opinion SATA support is the single most important reason why the DSL kernel should be updated. As we speak, hundreds of thousands of SATA-based computers are being built and sold, led by Dell (of course). Now that there appears to be a new "standard" SATA controller interface called AHCI it means that we should be future-proofed for the next generation PCs if the AHCI SATA driver is selected to be compiled into the newest 2.4.x kernel.
