[plug] Mepis blues

[Caleb Duggan]

What sort of hard drive are you using? SATA? and if its PATA, Is it one of  
those motherboards where the UATA ports are separate from normal ones? -  
ive had experiences with it not detecting the drive properley on one of  
those and i got all sorts of filesystem errors and grub often came up with  
random errors
