I've just tried installing RHEL 5 using the AHCI setting in BIOS, it does install but as I said before "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" screen appears again, and did change the AHCI setting to SATA in BIOS, and boots up with a screen which contains lots of commands/words/keystrings etc.(really don't know the word for that screen in english) but something caught my attention that is:<br>
<br>
<br>
Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range<br></div>
*PCI: BIOS Bug MCFG area at e0000000 is not E020-reserved*<br>

try booting with noacpi but with the BIOS set to AHCI<br>

could be a BIOS upgrade would 'repair' the ACPI info stored in there.<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"></div></div></blockquote><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>I've just upgraded to the last release from Asustek, neither way I guess I could reflash it again.<br>
<br><br>I've just tried with Fedora 6, 7, with no possitive result and will do FC8 tomorrow(in less than 8 hours), FC9 has the same odd results, the only thing changed there is that it detects nVidia chipset and Graphics card from the beginning, but doesn't recognize HD in the install screen.<br>
