Re: Centos 5.4 and TYAN s4985 motherboard....

[Tom Bishop <bishoptf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah I know fedora core 12 works well along with ubuntu 8.04, thats what I am running now with later kernel, I just like to run centos on my production servers...neither of the latter exhibit the same condition that I saw with centos5.4.   I have updated the bios to the latest 2.07 but had already loaded ubuntu 8.04 and running that right now :( since I needed to get something working, may wait till rhel6 comes along and switch when that sees the light of day, although I'm not sure when that might be...lol

Looks like 207 is the latest:

According to the OS support matrix:

Not all embedded components have drivers (2c = SATA RAID), which should
only indicate that the fake-RAID doesn't work in RHEL 5 64bit.

Try booting other live CDs?  Including some from other 64bit distros
that might have a more recent kernel?
