Or you can sometimes boot with the m/board driver diskto flash the
bios, putting the new bios file on a floppy or USB pendrive.. johnAlready did that, flashed it to the last version, and flashed it backwards, no possitive results neither way, nevertheless I
was able
to install RHEL 5.2 i386, x86_64 without any issue. The
AHCI or even
SATA worked ok.
Well CentOS 5.2 "should" be out in a couple of weeks. I'm sure the build servers are humming away right now.
I had a similar issue when trying our Fedora 9 on my NEW Gigabyte mboard. It would install, but not boot. Turned out Grub was writing it as /dev/hda during install, but on reboot, it was /dev/sda. I fixed it by boot of the F9 dvd, into rescue mode, chrooting, and re-running grub install and specified sda. Perhaps this is your issue. (I haven't followed the whole thread...) Seems to be happening on just very recent motherboards, based on the little bit of Googling I did. http://www.groupsrv.com/linux/post-866681.html HTH, Dennis
