There is a typo in this bug report -- the system is a Dell Precision 670, *not* 870 as I reported. Is this bug a dup of 132848? Are there >= 4GB of RAM in this system? This is a 4GB machine. /proc/meminfo says: MemTotal: 3986776 kB I'm unable to view bug 132848 to determine whether this may be a duplicate. "You are not authorized to access bug #132848." I have a similiar problem with RHEL V4 beta 2. I have an Dell 8400 with a 82801FR SATA AHCI controller, and the installer fails to see either of the hard drives attached to the controller when I get to the partitioning step. Only 1GB in my system. The above problem is definitely the bug #132848 problem, which is now solved. Mr. Romelfanger, please file a new bug as you have a completely separate issue. A fix for this problem was committed to the RHEL3 U5 patch pool on 14-Feb-2005 (in kernel version 2.4.21-27.13.EL). I want to view bug #132848 as well, but like Jesse I'm not authorized to access it. It's really frustrating! This bug is a showstopper for me, and I want to know how to work around it! I also have a Dell Precision 670 with 4GB and experienced the same problem. Also not authorized to access bug #132848. How may I aquire the fixed kernel? The fixes are in the U5 beta channel on RHN. Installed kernel 2.4.21-31.EL and all is well. Thanks for your help. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
