Description Joe Bidgio 2003-10-13 23:07:44 UTC 
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.
