In case there was too much detail in that last email, I am basically
asking:<br>
<br>
If your SATA drives do not detect, whether on a RAID controller or
regular SATA controller<br>
and assuming you know they do work (i.e. it's not hardware) what does
it normally take to get<br>
Linux (CentOS if possible) to pick them up as a target for a fresh
installation.<br>
<br>
Cheer,<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Pluggers
A colleague is having trouble installing Trixbox (Asterisk) Version 2.2
which uses the CentOS V4.4.
After the initial bootup, it report no devices to install the OS. This
happens because it does not appear to detect (or support?) the onboard
RAID controller which is the onboard NVIDIA nForce 405 MCP SATA/SATA
RAID controller.
It doesn't matter whether he is using RAID or even just a single drive
plugged into the SATA controller. They (it) just doesn't show up.
Custom kernel? Missing hardware support? What are the possibilities?
Has anyone seen or experienced this before?
The board is an Asus NFM2N8-VMX with an AMD Sempron 3000+ CPU.
All ideas are welcome. Rolling our own kernel may be a little more work
than anyone there is expecting so all help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Jonathan Young
