Re: [CentOS] Compatible SATA controller needed
PCIe SATA controllers (and perhaps even PCI SATA controllers) are a dime a dozen on Amazon. I've purchased a few and they just worked with Linux.

Re: [CentOS] Compatible SATA controller needed
I've gone through the BIOS and tried all the combinations that were available but still no joy. I used ELRepo's method of determining the card type, and the result was none yielded a positive result. After trying all combinations my only course of action is to fins a card that is compatible and ignore the controllers that I currently have.

Re: [CentOS] Compatible SATA controller needed
I've already checked ELRepo for a possible driver and have tried some that looked promising but no success.

[CentOS] Compatible SATA controller needed
I'm trying to install Centos 8 on an older PC but it fails because the SATA controller isn't supported. Anyone have a source for a PCI/ePCI controller card that is compatible with Centos 8?
