Deepesh, RHL distribution upto 9.0 (kernel 2.4.20-8)does'nt recognise SATA controllers. The steps are as follows: 1. Tweak the BIOS, change the HDD setting from SATA controller to IDE and save the configuration . Restart and continue installing linux on the SATA controller as IDE controller. (the alternative is to dont goto Step 2 and use the SATA drive as IDE :-( )
2.(For those who prefer the journey to destination:-)) Download the linux driver for SATA controller and rebuild the kernel. ;-) , change the BIOS reset the HDD as SATA and reboot. The difficult thing is to find one right driver for your sata controller. 3. Find upgraded kernel (beyond 2.4.20-8) i think kernel 2.6 would be right. i have read somewhere it does support SATA controllers though havnt experienced it.
