Description of problem: The kernel-2.6.17-1.2517.fc6 doesn't support VIA VT8237A SATA controller. The patch was sent to LKML. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=115552504713314&w=2 I confirmed that patch was needed for the VIA VT8237A SATA controller. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.17-1.2517.fc6 How reproducible: Install Fedora Core 6 test2(i386) to the machine. My machine uses ASUS P5VD2-MX mother board. It uses VIA VT8237A SATA controller. So, I can't install the FC6 test2. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: The installer can't find the HDD which is connected by SATA. Expected results: I can install the Fedora Core 6 to the machine. Additional info:
I merged this into cvs yesterday. It'll be in rawhide soon. (It's frozen right now due to the FC6test3 freeze).

yes
