[K12OSN] Installing K12LTSP to a SATA Hard Disk on theKT600/VT8237 Chipset

[Krsnendu dasa]

I had no problems installing it on my other motherboard - same chip 2500
Athlon xp with Silicon Image SATA controller. But the VT8237 Chipset is
not recognized by K12LTSP even though it is recognized by bios. I have
tried following the instructions on the website mentioned below using
the other machine as the host. But it isn't working yet.

Hi,

I've installed k12ltsp V4.0.1. on a P-IV 2.8 Ghz with  dual RAID SATA
drives. I did not have to load any other drivers nor make any changes.
The only notes ... are;
1) The BIOS ignored the SATA drives in the configuration when the
computer first booted and indicates that there are no drives attached
2) Simply ignore the BIOS message and proceed with the CD installation
it should work well.

NOTE don't try installing a cluster therte you'll have to patch the
kernel, (Mosix) to support SATA drives

good luck

I have tried to follow the steps for making a driver disk given in this
website http://fedoranews.org/contributors/mike_insch/sata/ 

But it refers to a slightly different version of the kernel and I have
not had much luck yet.

 

Can someone give me some tips? Or even better send the img file for the
driver disk.  :-)

My cpu is AMD 2500xp
