[NBLUG/talk] New Compaq sr2150nx - Linux can't find SATA drive

[Dave Sisley]

Update:

First off, thanks to everyone for the help so far.  This mailing list (& 
open source cooperation in general) are why I was able to think "Sure - 
I haven't bothered to research whether Linux will install on this 
machine, but I'm sure it'll all work out."

I plunked the latest knoppix (5.1.1) into the new box and it found the 
drive without a problem.  I 've downloaded 4 of the 5 fc6 ISOs with 
Vista/IE (I feel dirty, of course).  I will look through the suggestions 
given so far re: burning ISOs w/out Nero (No way am I buying anything).

My hope is that the 2.6.18 kernel in FC6 will do as well as the 2.6.19 
kernel in Knoppix in terms of finding the SATA drive - does anyone out 
there think differently?

Anyway, I'll keep you posted.  Thanks again!
