Sounds like IPCOP isn't compatible with your hardware. Isn't it based on a fairly old kernel? If this is a brand-new machine, its SATA controller might not even be recognized by that kernel. Have you tried any other Linux distro or LiveCD on this hardware? -Adam

I think you are right, Adam.

I tried dd'ing directly to a SATA drive, put it in the machine, and it again booted but this time IPCop setup could not find hard drives.

I googled the "No hard disk found" error and found http://www.ipcops.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?p=82706

Which is vaporware, at least for now.

IPCop v1.9.x is based on a 1.4 kernel. I don't know what kernel IPCop v2.0.3 uses, but I'm guessing it can't see my SATA drive, and I have no IDE drives in the machine.

Yikes. I have an old pentium with an IDE drive with XP on it - but only 1 ethernet port. I'd hate to rob my new machine of it's PCI network cards to stick in the old clunker!
