Description Ed Ciechanowski 2005-04-07 18:39:59 UTC

Description of problem:
When installing RHEL3 U5 Beta release to an PATA drive with an additional SATA 
drive attached on a ICH7 system with the BIOS set to AHCI mode the 
installation will complete. After rebooting, logging in, and running lsmod you 
can see that the AHCI driver is not loaded by default and you are unable to 
see the SATA drive. After running Modprobe AHCI then the driver loads and the 
os will see the SATA drive.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.21-31.EL
