FC6test2 and ICH6 with SATA drive

["Robert M. Albrecht" <romal gmx de>]

Hi,

I have problems installing fc6test2 on an ICH6 based system with a sata
drive.

Anaconda complains about a missing harddisk and reboots the system.

The bios has no pata compatibility settings.

Anaconda seems to load the ata_piix driver.

alt-f4 shows the following messages:

from ata1:

port is slow to respong, please be patient.
port failed to respond (30sec)
SRST failed (status 0xff)
SRST failed (err_mask 0x100)
softreset failed, retrying in 5 secs
.
.
.
reset failed, giving up

from ata2:

sata port has no device
abnormal status 0xff on port 0xaeff

Any suggestions ?
