Hi there.
I was trying to install Fedora last night, and ran into some similar problems noted in this thread - though I am now worried about the video driver issue, since I have an ATI Radeon 9800XT - if it's not going to work, that won't be very cool (considering it's expensive).
My system is:
Here's a description of the system:
- Chassis: Thermaltake Damier 6000+
- Motherboard: SOYO Dragon Platinum, Intel 875P Chipset
- Intel 3.0ghz 800FSB
- 2 GB RAM
- 4 SATA drives (Silicon Image provides the onboard controller)
- Samsung CD-R(W)
Basically the installation chokes at the point where it says it can't locate an adequate driver for the disks in my system, and there's a selection list, etc. etc. This must be due to the SATA controller (Silicon Image).
Someone suggested I modify the AMI BIOS so the drives operate in "compatibility mode", which I'm about to try.
I wonder if the updates to Fedora (which are not included with the core ISO release) resolve this issue or what others might have found with this a work-a-around).
Thanks.
