Post subject:  Dell 8300 polling for SATA drives during boot

Is there an official way to stop Knoppix from polling for SATA drives at boot?

My Dell 8300 has 2 SATA connectors. I turned them off through BIOS but the Knoppix boot sequence still finds them.

The timeout is 30 seconds for each port so it's taking over 1 minute of extra time to boot.

If there's a way to disable SATA support altogether, that would be fine also.

Try adding "noscsi" or "nosata" to your boot options.
