Has anyone gotten the x86_64 Test 3 to install from the DVD on a box with
SATA drives?
Yes.
Here is the trick to get it to work.
Install as normal. (If you already have an install you can skip this
step. ]:> )
Boot off the same disc in "rescue mode". ("linux rescue")
At the prompt:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
cd /boot
mkinitrd -v --image-version --nocompress initrd 2.6.17-1.2630.fc6
Edit /etc/grub.conf and add the following line:
initrd /initrd-2.6.17-1.2630.fc6
Save, sync the drive and reboot. With luck (and if you did it right), it
should work.
I had a problem with X as well, but reconfiguring the x server fixed it.
(Just follow the bouncing prompts.)
Hope that helps.
