  1. Quote: Hi there. 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. Here is a link that will give you some help. Serial ATA chipsets — Linux support status I have sata (SiI3112) drives and they are working with Fedora core 1. I am not using the RAID feature of the motherboard though. Using md. Drivers were part of a kernel upgrade as a module sata_sil.
  2. Quote: Next, I installed the driver from ati, ran the fglxconfig and X is running just fine. I still have an issue with OpenGL support, which runs in software rendering mode. I contacted ATI about that issue though. Good luck. Having purchased a new computer last month and the usage of ATI at work last month, I thought I would get an ATI card. I use a 7500 at work with Fedora core and it works great. I purchased a 9600. Rule of thumb for me now is to tell people to avoid ATI and Linux like SARS and Mad cow in one. After three weeks of hell, I finally found on the ATI site that they don't support 3d on most of their hi-end cards. I couldn't even get their driver to compile under my latest kernel. If you search their site, they even state that they won't support linux. Going with Nvidia based card tomorrow. I have a ASUS a7n8x-E Deluxe and the latest kernel (2.4.22-1.2140.nptl) for Fedora recognized the SATA drives on boot up as new hardware. I used MD instead of the on-board RAID due to more tools.
