Re: Red Hat 9 installation problem.

[Alon Weinstein]

I have a system with an on-board VIA SATA. 2.6.0test5 and beyond have 
good support for this chipset, and by manually patching a rawhide 2.4.22 
kernel using this thread as reference -- 
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg202339.html -- I got the SATA 
running on 2.4.x. The author of libata told me that kernels > 2.4.22 
support this chipset. Anyhow, as told by others -- no easy to way to do 
a clean-install on this kind of drive -- install on a regular IDE and DD 
everything to the SATA if you want it to be your main.

Yup,

VIA SATA support in kernel 2.4.x is minimal - at best. The 2.6.0-testx got 
more stuff (until someone will backport it)..

My suggestion - set the BIOS SATA stuff to ATA emulation (depending on your 
BIOS)...

One of our students tried to install RH9 on a computer with the following:

Mother board: ABIT
Chipset: VIA
Hard disk: Seagate SATA
When he got to the disk formatting part of the installation he got an
error stating that no hard disk was found.
Does anybody have any idea what can be the problem and a
possible solution?
Thank you,
