Description of problem: During installation of 64-bit Red Hat Linux Ver. 8.0.95 (GinGin) the Promise SATA controller PDC20378 drivers were not available or not supported yet by the distribution (GinGin), Tyan (motherboard manufacturer), or Promise Technologies (controller manufacturer). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Installation 8.0.95 (GinGin) 64-bit Red Hat linux distribution Hardware: Dual 64-bit AMD Opteron on Tyan S2880 Motherboard. How reproducible: Chronic Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert CD to boot from and follow normal guidlines 2. Installation begins copy of files to the SATA hard disk drive then fails. 3. Actual results: Failure of installation, then system automatically reboots, because it finds no hard drives. Expected results: Copy files to the HDD, installation works fine with the 32-bit distribution of RedHat linux version 9 distribution Additional info: I contacted Tyan and Promise, they have no release date for the 64-bit drivers, but have pleanty of pre-release drivers for 32-bit linux.
