Thank you very much James! I will try to understand your explanation and try to succes this trouble! <div>2007/6/12, James P. Kinney III <<a href="mailto:jkinney@localnetsolutions.com"> jkinney@localnetsolutions.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi Alberto, That board has a poor controller chip, JMB363 IDE/SATA controller. It runs BOTH IDE and SATA. But it can't run both at the same time. Here's a partial work around that uses network install method instead of CD/DVD: In BIOS set the system to use all IDE. Now boot the system using a boot CD from K12LTSP v.6 (I'm assuming that is the distro you want to use - you will need another Linux machine sharing out either the DVD drive with the DVD in it or a loop-mounted DVD image o k12ltsp v.6) At the boot prompt you need to do the following boot command: linux all-generic-ide pci=nommconf askmethod This will ask what type of installation you want to do. You will need to be set up to do either a NFS mount or an http version. Both versions are covered well in the installation notes from the first CD of the distro. Now for the real fun. The system _should_ install at this point but you will not have a working DVD drive when it's all done. You will need to get the kernel source (kernel-devel rpm) and cp the config to .config in the kernel build directory. Then you need to run the make menuconfig and find the sata stuff and compile it all into the kernel (not modules!). once the new kernel is compiled and in place (make install && make modules-install) edit the /boot/grub/grub.conf file to register the new kernel (it won't have an initrd file so you won't need that line), reboot.
