Ok.  If I read that right:

Operating System:	Red Hat Linux 9
Motherboard:		Intel D925XCV
CPU:			Intel Pentium 4
Memory			1GB (2 x 512MB DDR2 PC400 modules)
Hard Drive:		Seagate Barracuda SATA 80GB

Anaconda is the Red Hat Linux installer program.  My question was aimed
at what disk drive controller was being used.  By what you said above, I 
can see that you're using the SATA controller on the motherboard.

Red Hat Linux 9 doesn't support that SATA controller and Intel doesn't
provide any drivers that will support it under Linux.  You could put in
a regular IDE drive and install to it, but I don't think that's what you
really want to do.

If you want to use the SATA hard drive, you will need to upgrade to
Fedora Core 2 or Fedora Core 3, which does have support for that SATA
controller.  If you use Fedora Core 3, you'll be absolutely current.

You should be aware that Red Hat Linux 9 reached end-of-life in April of
2004, meaning that Red Hat doesn't support it any longer.  Updates are
available from the Fedora Legacy project, but it's really quite an old
operating system now.

Fedora Core 3 (FC3) is the latest free version of Linux that's available
which has any affiliation with Red Hat (Red Hat does a lot of the
development of FC3, but it is NOT a Red Hat product).
