Yes, the SATA controller is set to IDE, not AHCI. This is a dual boot system; the SATA drive is for Windows Server; the SCSI drive is for SCO UNIX OpenServer. I checked the CPU: it's an Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 running at 3.33 GHz; it's compatible with SCO. I don't think there's anything else I can change in the BIOS. (Besides, my original system is also dual boot--Windows 7 Pro and SCO, and here I have SATA set to AHCI--SCO boots regardless.)

There is one difference though: the original computer has an Intel Pro/100 ethernet card, whereas the alternate computer has a RealTek Gigabit ethernet card. Could this be the source of the hangup? I would think that SCO would note the issue but then continue with the boot...

NAME
ahci - Advanced Host Controller Interface SATA controller driver
SYNOPSIS
sata@unit-address
DESCRIPTION
The ahci driver is a SATA framework-compliant HBA driver that supports SATA HBA controllers that are compatible with the Advanced Host Con-
troller Interface 1.0 specification. AHCI is an Intel-developed protocol that describes the register-level interface for host controllers
for serial ATA 1.0a and Serial ATA II. The AHCI 1.0 specification describes the interface between the system software and the host con-
troller hardware.
The ahci driver currently supports the Intel ICH6/7/8/9, VIA vt8251 and JMicron AHCI controllers which are compliant with the Advanced Host
Controller Interface 1.0 specification. Note that while the Intel ICH6/7/8/9, VIA vt8251 and JMicron AHCI controllers support standard
SATA features, the ahci driver currently only supports hard disk, ATAPI SATA DVD, hotplug and NCQ (Native command queuing). Port multiplier
and power management are not yet supported.
CONFIGURATION
The ahci module contains no user configurable parameters.
FILES
/kernel/drv/ahci
32-bit ELF kernel module (x86).
/kernel/drv/amd64/ahci
64-bit ELF kernel module (x86).

Note that booting is not supported if toggle exists between the [IDE] and [AHCI] BIOS options
