FC2 -DELL 8400 INTEGRATED ETHERNET GIGABIT PROBLEM

[Ahamarshan jn <ashgene yahoo co in>]

Hello,

    I have a DELL-8400 Series PC with SATA drive and I dual booted it with winxp-prof and FedoraCore2 , there was and still a problem with the sata drive not getting recognised by FC2, i have overcome this by changing the settings in bios (i need to do this everytime i boot!), also while booting it says Unrecognised board/chipset, but the real problem is that when i try to connect to the internet, i get an error message that my device is not recognised. From the start-> system-> Network connection, i selected the eth0 and the device type as Intel Gigabit 1000.

(Even after configuring the IP and settings)

I also tried to build the kernel to 2.6.9.XX from 2.6.5 but all i got is Kernel panic and FC2 fail to boot.

Can anyone help me solve this problem.

I am new to Fedora.

My system details are

DELL-8400

INTEL-925X Express chipset with ICH6-R

INTEGRATED RAID CONTROLLER WITH INTEL Matrix storage

INTEGRATED GIGABIT NETWORK CONTROLLER

INTEL PENTIUM 4 PROCESSOR 550 WITH HT technology

Serial ATA Hard drive with 8mb burst cache.

3GB DDR RAM.

 

Any help

Thank you
