I know that, but I don't believe I will be the last to try to install Linux to one.
It's fine as a workaround, but a final solution it's not, especially as one can't easily and immediately find how to overcome it.
Since it reportedly works in F7, there doesn't seem to me a good reason to leave it.
Even worse:I tried booting Knoppix 5.0 on one (I have two here). It fails, the workaround doesn't, and knoppix is configured to boot quietly, so no messages.
The workaround is required for Knoppix 5.1, does work and the drives come up at /dev/hd{,c}
btwCan anyone confirm that one really can install two drives in these? If so, I might put my original back (alone, it's not big enough).
