It lives! ... well, until the kernel gets to init.  The kernel usually
states my root partition is /dev/sda2 because of the usual add-in SATA
pci card.  However, Filo designates my drive as /dev/hda2. 

So, the kernel gets to init and panics because it can't use the boot
parameter device file /dev/hda2.  I could be wrong here too, because
from what I'm seeing, not many of my PCI devices are being found (ie.
sound card... and possibly the SATA add-in pci card as well!)


(I've scanned over the session file pretty quickly... I'll be stepping
out for the rest of the week and need to get ready.)

(There's more going on as you'll see within my session.log file.  I
believe there's one other kernel panic -- nvidia pci card, no biggy, or
I think.  I've also posted prebuilt roms for both motherboards along
with session logs accordingly.)
