fedora kernel can't boot from sata disk

[Lars G]

hi

i'm trying to run a current fedora rawhide kernel without recompiling on my
asus a7n8x-dlx mainboard with an sata reiserfs hd as the only disk.
my recompiled vanilla kernel works fine, but the stock kernel with the
fedora config can't boot.
i guess it has something todo with libata/reiserfs modules
not loading at the boot process.

is it possible to force the modules to load at the boot line or something ?
if not, is it at all possible to install/run an stock fedora kernel on an
sata hd only computer ?


thanks!

I had same problem, and I went to the store and got anIDE drive and 
installed it.

hmm, so booting fedora from an sata only hd system is broken?

Under GRUB install use adwanced options, and choose what harddisk your
MBR is installed on. I have used SATA since Fedora Core 2.

No the installer's boot kernel doesn't seem to have support for
Nvidia's SATA 
driver.  I would file a bugzilla report if one doesn't exist already.

AFAIK via and silicon image support is working and I assume intel support too.
