I have an eeepc with a S-ATA flash drive (sata ssd not ata ssd) on which I am installing Pupeee. I have made the installation to a "Internal flash (ex SSD) " drive, so far so good.
I am now trying to update the menu.lst for grub. Looking at the information at :
http://www.puppylinux.com/hard-puppy.htm
when specifying "pmedia=" my choices are
"Kernel with /proc/ide...
usbflash usbhd usbcd ideflash idehd idecd idezip satahd satacd scsihd scsicd cd
OR, kernel without /proc/ide (libata PATA)...
usbflash usbhd usbcd ataflash atahd atacd atazip scsihd scsicd cd"
The nearest options would appear to be satahd and ataflash. Given that there is a speed difference between an ata drive and a sata drive I would like to specify sata if at all possible. Ideally I would like to put "sataflash" but I dont see that as an option.
Can anyone advise please?

Is your issue resolved then?
For the sake of fellow posters it would then be nice to post your menu.lst and add [SOLVED] at the end of the subject of your initial post.

Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

Good point Beem.
System:
eeePc with an internal SSD. 3 partitions, first (sda1) with winxp, second is data, third (sda3) with Pupeee Linux.
Dual booting and using the windows boot.ini to give the menu options so I only needed the GRUB bootloader to start up Pupeee without any options.
This means the menu.lst is really short and simple. The entire file is :
timeout 0
default 0
title Pupeee 4.4beta4 Linux (on /dev/sda3)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz pmedia=satahd
initrd /initrd.gz
This boots the eeeXXX.sfs into RAM. This and selecting installation to SSD initially also results in "pupmode 13" (see http://puppeee.com/web/blog/p_10/ search for "pupmode 13" for details) to optimise SSD usage.
