Help!

[winx]

I am running a Asus P4S800D motherboard with a new maxtor sata drive. I cannot seem to find the drivers or anything for linux to verify I infact do have a harddrive. It seems the Asus website has no Linux supported drivers for my motherboard. Can someone help me?

-Thanks

Will you please calm down, consistent posting and private messaging members will not get you help, simply having some patience and waiting for someone who knows the answer to your query will get you the help which you need.

Someone dose Lee dose and he won't give me the drivers... Hes antagonizing me.

 

[SPeedY_B]

I think that you will find Lee was joking.

 

[winx]

Hehe I'm sorry its just I have been working on this problem with WinXp finally found drivers... Now Linux... Its just gettings really anoying.

Maybe you should try Fedora Core 2, seeing as that is the latest release and RH is no longer supported at all.

 

[winx]

No Luck
Just need RH Drivers

 

[j79zlr]

This is my last post here, you need to 1) update your kernel, because RH 9 ships with 2.4.20 version of the kernel, SATA support was not introduced until 2.4.21, or 2) you can install a newer version [which you should anyways] like Fedora Core2 that has a newer kernel.
