You need to use ata_piix, not AHCI at this point. I tried with ata_pixx: At the point installer asks for "no hard drive found. select drivers now?" I selected the "Intel PIIX/ICH ATA controllers(ata_piix)" option and installer continues until the partition part ( I both tried a/ auto partion and b/ manual part), but then installer fails with "No drives found etc." Pushing OK makes the installer stop and reboots fc3 final should be defaulting to using ata_piix Sorry, I saw I accidentaly had checked the fc3test3 version in stead of fc3! I've corrected this. It's all about FC3! I see the exactly same problem with my new Dell Precision 370 Workstation and Fedora Core 3. FC3 installation doesn't recognize my SATA driver. This drive currently has (factory installed) Windows XP which is running fine. Dell technical support tells me that it's a bug in FC3. The workaround is to install kernel 2.6.9- 1.681_fc3_sata.root.i686.rpm on a SCSI disk, then mirror it on the SATA disk and boot the system in rescue mode (or some voodoo like that). The SATA reported by Windows XP on this system (P4 EM64T 3.2GHz) is as follows Name Intel(R) 82801FB/FBM Ultra ATA Storage Controllers - 266F Manufacturer Intel Status OK PNP Device ID PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266F&SUBSYS_01751028&REV_03 \3&172E68DD&0&F9 I/O Port 0x0000FFA0-0x0000FFAF Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\pciide.sys (5.1.2600.0 (XPClient.010817-1148), 3.25 KB (3,328 bytes), 12/31/1979 10:00 PM) Name Primary IDE Channel Manufacturer (Standard IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers) Status OK PNP Device ID PCIIDE\IDECHANNEL\4&FEE6D1B&0&0 I/O Port 0x000001F0-0x000001F7 I/O Port 0x000003F6-0x000003F6 IRQ Channel IRQ 14 Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\atapi.sys (5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158), 93.13 KB (95,360 bytes), 12/31/1979 10:00 PM) Name Intel(R) 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller Manufacturer Intel Status OK PNP Device ID PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&SUBSYS_01751028&REV_03 \3&172E68DD&0&FA I/O Port 0x0000FE00-0x0000FE07 I/O Port 0x0000FE10-0x0000FE13 I/O Port 0x0000FE20-0x0000FE27 I/O Port 0x0000FE30-0x0000FE33 I/O Port 0x0000FEA0-0x0000FEAF Memory Address 0xDFFFFC00-0xDFFFFFFF IRQ Channel IRQ 20 Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\iastor.sys (4.5.0.6515, 466.75 KB (477,952 bytes), 6/29/2004 10:17 AM) An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update. It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005. If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug. There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only way to purge them. Thank you. |
