Hi, guys, I finally found I only need to choose the "RAID" option for SATA mode (the other one is "IDE"). I didn't know by choosing it, Centos is able to load the ahci driver. That solves the problem. It took ton of time for me to figuring out the solution is such easy. I should've tried this earlier.
Thank you all for helping on this. Centos seems to have a great community. regards, -Hui On Wed, Mar 19, 2008 at 9:24 AM, bruce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > bourbon can be good... xmas cooking!! > although.. rum cakes aren't bad either... > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Scott Silva > Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 7:52 AM > To: centos@centos.org > Subject: [CentOS] Re: Intel SATA controller (cmiiw) not recognized by > Centos 5.1 installation? > > > on 3-19-2008 8:34 AM bruce spake the following: > > hey scott... > > > > are you sure about the installation of windows drivers, not affecting > the installation of linux. aren't there a number of cases where in order > to > install hardware on linux, you 1st need the windows drivers? > > > > might it be possible that the article/advice the poster was following > was with > regards to obtaining drivers for the sata controller/drive to be used > under > linux?? > > > Anything is possible, but I actually did read the article, so that doesn't > apply here.
