Hi, I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this or not...my apologies if not... I have a sager9860 laptop which indicates it uses a Promise TX2plus controller...I was hoping that the FC4T1 would be able to "see" the PATA disk I have installed (gentoo and yoper-2.2 can) however, it fails (just like FC3 does) when it comes to the point of partitioning the disks as it fails to detect any...it loads the sata_promise kernel module, however, in the gentoo & yoper installation kernels an updated libata patch is applied to the mainline 2.6.10 kernel which adds the ability for the kernel to work with this controller (the kernel option is: CONFIG_SCSI_PATA_PDC2027X). anyway I'm wondering if there is a way to update the kernel image that is used by anaconda to use a customized kernel with the above patch applied so that I can complete the FC4T1 installation...I've been running with a custom 2.6.11 kernel on a yoper-2.2 devel release for the past month, but am itching to get FC running on this system as FC is my linux distro of choice...any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. jps
