[CentOS] Intel SATA controller (cmiiw) not recognized by Centos 5.1 installation?

[Yu-Hui Jin]

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:

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,

-Hui
