Hi all...

I have a Shuttle SK83G with an AMD Athlon 64 3700+, 1G RAM, Western
Digital 80G SATA and a Plextor DVD RW 716SA SATA.  It's a dual boot with
Windows XP 64bit and Fedora Core 3 x86_64.  Everything appears to be
great from the XP side.  However, on the FC3 side, the Plextor will not
load.  The WD loads fine.  I have researched and researched and cannot
seem to find a solution.  I can see the BIOS recognizes both the WD and
Plextor. I can see the loading of the libata and sata_via in the kernel
log (included below).  I see it initialize the WD but not the Plextor.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

TBW
