This is an odd problem.

I have a Linux installation I have moved from IDE to SATA. I have a CD that I use to copy data from one drive to another. The data is copied, things worked just fine.

Now, there has been a issue with the filesystem (either a minor corruption or a case of me not running /sbin/lilo) and whenever I attempt to boot from a Gentoo LiveCD or a Knoppix CD, the screen goes blank and says:

Code:

PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT

It will boot from a Windows CD just fine, but anything having to do with Linux, I get that message.

Help?

*EDIT*

I have found out that if I remove my SATA controller, the machine will boot from a Linux CD.
