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? Thanks Pete
Your controller might be supported by one of the ELRepo's kmod packages. This can be checked if you provide the device ID pairing [xxxx:yyyy] as reported by 'lspci -nn'.
Also: what BIOS mode is the SATA controller operating in? The SATA firmware in some PCs implement various "weird" modes, including "RAID" (no, not really hardware RAID, just some kind of half BIOS half MS-Windows driver software RAID hack), Make sure the SATA controller is in AHCI mode and not in some other mode. If it is in AHCI mode, it might just work out-of-the-box.
