One 500GB is connected to SATA1, and another 400GB is to SATA2, and super DVD drive to SATA 3 port. Then, insert with the live-CD iso disk, and then the first messages from 9load was displayed, and at that point system hang. I think 9load cannot read CDROM's kernel. Then, I got off the first drive, and connected it to another machine (P5K motherboard), and installed the live-cd image using IDE mode... After a bit more things to do, now I'm using fossil on the P5Q Pro motherboard with two SATA mode HDD (DVD is not detected yet though).
