Description Erik Schilling 2012-08-24 20:20:42 UTC
Created attachment 606954 [details]
output of fpaste --sysinfo

Description of problem:
I am trying to install Fedora on this machine (see info in the attached files).
Fedora fails to recognise the harddrive of the machine --> only the usb stick i am booting with is found. On IRC people told me that it is probably a problem related to bad support for nvidia chips. Dmesg lists some errors/warnings (see attachments).

Best regards
Erik Schilling (Ablu)

Sorry. I forgot to add the info that the drive is detected by Windows XP that already was installed.

Best regards

I cannot change anything in the bios related to the sata port except setting a password.

I just thought about checking the other drives (only cd drive). It does not get detected as well...
Attached output of ls /dev.

Comment 9 Erik Schilling 2012-08-25 15:11:43 UTC
Switching SATA Controlled Mode to "Enhanced" in the bios fixed the issue for me.

Marking as not a bug though it would be nice if it could work without bios tinkering
