That's fine-grained tuning mostly though, and not really on topic for you as it appears you have something entirely different going on. What exactly is going on, I must admit, I don't know. :-/
<delurk> Well, let's find out then, no? ;)
Jay, you said it yourself - Knoppix seems to be setting something different than Sarge. I am not very familiar with both, but doing a lspci on both (just in case they "see" something different) and comparing, like Gordon suggested, the output of dmesg | less (or a less /var/log/dmesg) on both systems might give you an idea where things start to go differently.
I would look for differences in the discovery of (the) ide-controller(s), and how the HDs are discovered/treated.
For completeness' sake, the kernel version of each try could give the experts an idea of differences I am not aware of.
I am sure to have forgotten something here, but for starters, it might work.
Just my 2c, good luck, tobi... ;)
Unfortunately, nothing is sticking out at me. I can't say I know much about this stuff (obviously). I'm new on the list, has this thread drifted too much off the charter of this list, such that I should take it somewhere else?
For the sake of completeness, below are the tests I was asked to run
