require some details about fedora

[sarath babu]

   Hi everybody,
   
  Recently i tried to install Redhat ELv4 in my system. But i failed to do so, It gave a
message that "NO HARD DRIVE IDENTIFIED".
  My requirement is to use some development tools like JAVA, ORACLE 10g, and LANGUAGES
LIKE C, C++... And i found Fedora is the version similar to ELv4 and more for a developing
purpouse. If it is so please suggest me that so that i can install it in my system.
   
   
  My system configuration is:
  Asus K8s MX mother board,
  AMD 2800+ 64 bit processor,
  Segate 80 gb SATA harddisk,
  256 RAM.
   
  Waiting for response........

You have SATA drive, either install FC4 or FC5 or disable sata support form
BIOS.

Hi sarath babu!

I have not found recent information on your MB/SATA-HDD so I guess you
would say "we are still looking".  That said, it is likely that you
need a driver for your south bridge to be able to detect your hard
drive.  See link:

http://www.megalinux.net/archives/000413.html

Please let us know if this helps.  I am quite interested in the SATA issues.

Good Hunting!

BTW - Why do you need a Red Hat platform?  You might find an easy way
to drivers by running a Knoppix Live CD (Debian Based).  The path back
to FC5 would probably not be that hard (move the config files to the
right places, throw the right switches in the system files).
