I am attempting to load CentOS-6 onto a ST31000524AS 1Tb
SATA drive in a Supermicro 5015A-EHF-D525 system. The
BIOS sees the drive and the CentOS install process sees
and initializes it as well.
However, even when I accept the default partitioning, I
get an error during the drive formatting prior to
installing the OS. The error message is: "Could not
commit to disk /dev/sda". I get this error whether the
drive is configured as IDE or AHCI in BIOS.
The advanced BIOS configuration section makes reference to
LBA addressing and a maximum value of 137 Gb. However, I
had previously equipped this very system with a 500 GB
SATA drive and had not experienced any problems.
Does anyone have any idea as to what might be happening here?
