Re: Hardware compat with Fc8




Following your notes from april, doing a yum clean all, then yum update -
i get 126 packages to update including this -

Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/share/applnk/.hidden/.directory conflicts between attempted installs of kde-filesystem-4-14.fc8.noarch and kdebase-3.5.8-32.fc8.alpha

and i don't need or want kde or gnome, this is a server...

Btw, you have an old kernel installed and should update it :) After
running the yum update, you need to manually modify the /etc/aboot.conf
too, see my blogpost on
http://www.alphatek.info/2008/04/25/updated-kernel-for-the-fedora-8-alpha-port/

Thanks to Bert and Steven -
I will see if I can find a promise or one of the other sata cards and
test this.

modprobe -l | grep sata

I can't give you a definitive answer, but we know some things:

- You can't boot from a SATA card because of the SRM, you'll always need
a disk to contain the boot files.
- A card which has kernel drivers should work, have a look
in /lib/modules/yourkernelversion/kernel/drivers/ata for compiled
drivers. You can also look at the /boot/config-yourkernel file under the
"SCSI Transports" section for compiled drivers. m means that they are
compild as modules, the .ko files.

So let us know when you have tried :)

I would like to add some disk drives to a couple of alphas.
I am interested in adding SATA drives, the price is right, but am not
sure where to
look for compatible PCI card sata interfaces.
Has any one tried this? does it work with FC8? is there a list of
cmpatible cards?
thanks
