La tua mobo monta il sil3112. Qui c'e' un'interessante opzione da attivare per poter installare linux (redhat 8.0). il link è questo:
http://12.24.47.40/display/2n/index....=2&r=0.1112787
Ti riposrto quanto c'e' scritto:
If you have a Redhat 8.0 CD, when installing the OS on a SATA drive there is an important detail: The PCI scan order must be reversed if there are IDE devices on the motherboard.
· At boot time
o Boot: Linux ide=reverse
o at booting time this will assure the SATA drive becomes the target drive.
· At bootstrap configuration time
o add ide=reverse (graphical interface) or
o Insert an append=”ide=reverse” on lilo.conf
· Seagate drives require: (until Seagate fix is done)
o Boot: Linux ide=reverse ide=nodma
o It automatically reverts to dma after installation
Here are the detailed instructions to build the kernel(s):
1) Make a copy (or move) the src.rpm to /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS
2) cd /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS
3) rpm –i kernel.2.4.18-src.rpm
4) cd ../SPECS
5) Note that the whole source tree kernel replaces (overlays) the old one. If you want to see the differences we suggest that you do
a) mv kernel-2.4.18 kernel-2.4.18.ori” on usr/src/redhat/BUILD before doing the rpmbuild
b) diff –urN kernel-2.4.18 kernel-2.4-18.ori > kernel.2.4.18.lad.patch
c) mv usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.4.18/linux /usr/src/linux-2.4.18
6) rpmbuild –ba kernel-2.4.18-14.lad.spec or
rpmbuild -ba --without smp --without debug --without bigmem --target \ i686 kernel-2.4.18-3.lad.spec (if you know which kernel you want)
7) The new kernel tree will show up in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.4.18/linux
Optionally:
1) rpmbuild –ba will create many RPMs and it will place them into the directory /usr/src/redhat/RPMS. The RPMs can then be shipped to customers if you want to bypass step 1,2,3 and 4 above. In that case you start with the proper RPM on /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/arch as shown below.
2) cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
3) rpm –i *.rpm
4) cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18
a) make oldconfig;make dep
b) make bzImage
c) make modules
d) make modules_install
e) cd arch/i386/boot
f) mv bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2-4-18
g) cd /boot
h) mkinitrd /boot/inirtd-2.4.18.img 2.4.18
NOTES:
Reversing IDE scanning still applies if you want to boot from a SATA disk drive.
In soldoni dovresti poter passare al boot l'opzione Linux ide=reverse , ma con suse non mi ricordo come si fa. Se è come con rh semplicemente dopo che ha bootato e ti appare il menu scrivi:
Linux ide=reverse
e poi premi invio. Sei anche fortunato pechè il controller che hai sulla mobo ha dei driver open. Facci sapere.
