Hello. I've got a problem when installing Red Hat 9. At the begining of the
instalation it doesn't recognise my hard disk. It is a 120GB Seagate Serial
ATA (ST3120026AS). A list of drivers is shown but my HD isn't there. If I
choose other one then it can't go on with the instalation at the point of
partition options.

Can anyone help me please?

Bye.

I am including below a message from Red Hat archives, someone got a 120G
Seagate serial disk to install without any problems.

The Red Hat hardware list says
IDE controllers
ATA-133, ATA-33 -- most controllers.
If a device isn't mentioned specifically, it is usually supported under this
category. The message below also mentions that there are some serial ATA
drivers included in RH9.

just thought i would try to help clear one up from all the things that have
helped me here.

I am running redhat 9.0 on a 120 gig seagate serial HD and it picked it up
on installation. No probs. Hope this helps.

SATA is very poorly supported, certainly for the install. I have tried RH9,
mandrake 9.2 and SUSE 9, none of which can see my SATA disks.
Red hat enterprise 3.1 installer can see my SATA disks, due to other issues
I havent isntalled it yet. I am hoping that the new mandrake and suse due
out within a month-6 weeks will have native SATA 9 (and my controller, an
Intel ICH5). the controller seems to be the root of the issue.
