Help! I am a little confused about SATA disks and whether they are supported or not. I have just bought a collection of new parts to build a 3 Ghz system, which includes a SATA drive. Installation of RH9 does not detect the SATA drive, but does detect my old 40GB IDE drive. I have installed RH9 on this drive and checked to see if the OS could detect the SATA drive / interface with no luck. Next I patched up the system to the latest levels, including the kernel and rebooted. The new kernel detects the SATA interface and drive no problem, but then the boot promptly freezes when it looks for a boot partition on the old IDE disk - it seems to have difficulty reading the from IDE. I've found some information about the 2.6 kernel, but nothing about the 2.4 kernel, can anyone help me with this ? Secondly is there a way to build a custom CD with the new RH patched kernel so that I can boot and install from this new kernel? I'd like to run the system on the new SATA drive. System spec : Gigabyte 8IPE1000 Pro Chipset : Intel 865PE MCH Northbridge Intel ICH5 Southbridge - Nice MB - pity about the USB / Firewire connectors Diamond Max SATA Plus9 80GB drive Nvidia FX5200 - Does not detect correctly manually edit X config to use nv driver Thanks for your help, Neil. -- Neil Marjoram Systems Manager UCL Adastral Park Campus -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
