FC2 AMD_64 Bug #120145 (SATA HDD not found during install)

[Michael Bailey]

No luck I'm afraid, unless (and this is a real possibility) I'm not 
doing it right.

1.  Boot from Install CD-ROM
2.  Normal graphical mode install
3.  Anaconda starts, X starts
4.  Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get a command prompt
5.  modprobe sd_mod
6.  Back to the X session
7.  Select kanguage, install type, etc.
8.  Select disk partitioning method
9.  Device Not Found

Is there a way to patch the installation images with the new kernel?

thanx,

mtb
