I don't know what your reply means.....
Here is what it says to do:
...."I went back and
looked at the BIOS again and noted a setting under "Integrated Peripherals" for
"SATA Mode" with the options of "IDE" or "RAID". Since the ata_piix module
seemed to be the one at issue I turned on "RAID" to see what would happen and it
switched to loading the achi module instead of the
ata_piix."....
Do you know how to get into the bios?
Can you change it as described above? (from IDE to
RAID)

Here ya
go....
5
minutes....
Thanks! I tried network installation (using HTTP though),
but the harddisk can't be recognized during the partitioning step. It
seems to me this NFS network described in this article would have the same
problem.
am I wrong in thinking this way? (i don't have a second linux
to do the NFS install so I'm suspicious about whether i should really give this
a try.)
It seems installing AHCI is the only way to go to
me....

Hi,
Jason,
Thanks and I tried the first method to start with the
parameter, but it was extremely slow loading each screen. one time I got to
the testing media page and i chose Test. and it seemed stuck there for ever
so I forced shutdown my box.
I also tried to download and install the
AHCI driver following this article:
http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30865
But
the installation failed; it said The computer does not meet the minimum
requirements for installing this software.
It seemed that no trick
has worked yet... any new suggestion or advice?
Thanks,
