FC 5 can't fine CDROM during installation - Core 2 DUO motherboard

[Barry Yu]

During installation, the install CD booted up in CD ROM, Installation Method was Local
CDROM, up to this point, got message; Unable to find any devices of the type needed for
this installation type. Would you like to manually select your device or a driver disk? 
The system is with Core 2 DUO E6400 cpu, this happened to both Intel DG965WH and ASUS P5B
Deluxe.Both mother board were with Intel RAID controller. 
I tried using the win98 floppy to boot up with CD ROM support option, saw message; 
No drive found - aborting installation, 
No valid CDROM device drivers selected. 
No way to install the FC5 with above 2 motherboards, what was the problem?

You might want to, also, say how your CD-ROMs are connected and set up.

I've seen similar problems on a system with an Atapi Zip drive,
installers would stuff-up trying to use it as the CD-ROM.  Also, I've
seen similar problems when people have master/slave jumpers set
incorrectly.

I have only used 1 cd rom in ide connector, and I tried setting it master or slave, and
the hard drive 200g sata, same thing happened. 
  Exactly the same system configuration, can only install XP into it (XP could recognize
the CDROM ), but there was another strange thing, xp only could recognize 130 gb out of
this 200g, and could finish the entire installation.
  And I tried with beta Vista, it could recognize the entire 200gb of the hard drive.
  The symptoms is that ;
  To boot up from CDROM with FC5, Win98 boot up floppy, when start loading the CDROM
driver, the process just couldn't find the CDROM and stopped loading the driver (Win98
boot floppy showed that).
  2 hours ago, I downloaded the 1st CD of FC6 and I installed it, FC6 went well to the end
and asked for 2nd CD! I tried FC5 in same machine again, it just could not find the CDROM
! 
  Now I believe that versions before FC6 ( In Fedora family) may have proble with Core 2
DUO motherboards, and in MS windows anything before XP ( even in XP may have some
application problems - but I can prove) may have compatibility problem as well.
  Seems now only FC6 and Vista can install into this machine without problem, I am going
to download the entire set of FC6 to try this machine out and might post my new findings.

Using this motherboard I had to enter 
linux all-generic-ide
 at the boot prompt.
This was a suggestion in an  earlier thread on the subject.
Installation proceeded without any trouble.

have fun
