I downloaded the RHEL 5.2 iso from Red Hat and it detected the SATA drive without changing anything in the BIOS, so I can discard a BIOS bug from now on, the iso image was corrupted, though so when I set the root password it crashed, checked the dvd and it didn't pass the test. So I guess CentOS 5.0, 5.1 & RHEL 5.0, 5.1, sata_nv drivers doesn't support the nForce 630a chipset, not even the official drivers from nVidia.com. I thank you all for your suggestions/comments...I guess I'll stick with this asus mobo. Saludos, Victor. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
