SATA and Linux

[sachin_kothari]

My System Configuration is as follows
ASUS K8S Maotherboard, AMD 64bit 2800+, 512 MB DDR RAM and 120 GB Seagate SATA HDD.

The Problem is that whenevr i try to install Linux on to my system the installation does not detects my SATA HDD. What drivers will i need to install Linux on my sytem? Is there some procedure to install Linux onto a SATA HDD?

Try fedora core 4. I have a similar system except for i have Maxtor 120 GB SATA and an MSI nFORCE 3 board. Fedora Core 4 installs without any problem. Even Ubuntu installs without any problem.

Go to *shipit.ubuntu.com and register there you will get FREE ubuntu CDs! You dont even have to pay for mailing charges!!

yeah FC3 does it easily.. FC 4 should come in next month digit..

FC 4 gives fatal warning.
FC 3 and Ubuntu gives my earlier problems.
Suse 9.1 gives same problem.

Then u should search on the asus site for linux drivers of your SATA chipset! No other solution!

These linux distros dont come with latest hardisks drivers. So get the new ones from the sites!
