1-TB SATA drive as F9 root/boot drive

[Scott Harvanek]

Is the mobo SATA 150 or SATA 3Gbps? is the drive jumpered to match?

Also, you say that the two machines have the same motherboard? do they 
have the same bios revision?

If you do decide to try this again if you could please do your best to 
copy the kernel panic/crash and post it that would help :)
