I have a motherboard that is not very different (probably not 100% identical either) and CentOS works fine. It's Fedora 6 that's causing SATA issues on that mobo. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227186 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227441 There's something wrong with SATA on these new motherboards. Or maybe they are too new and the SATA support in the kernel is lagging. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
