help the redhat enterprise AS 3 does not detect the sata drive

[RUSHE John (AXA-TECH-UK)]

            Hi Amro

 

Hope you didn't pay for RHEL 3.0 AS as given the hardware you are using
you only need RHEL 3.0 ES which is much much cheaper. If you want to
apply security / bug fix updates etc you will need to register on redhat
network. Once you have registered, you can run "up2date -u" from the
command line to download the latest bug and security fixes. 

 

On the issue of SATA drives, I have never used them myself but a friend
of mine tells me that they are supported in Fedora Core 3. If this is a
test machine or for home use I would advise installing Fedora Core 3
instead of RHEL.

 

Regards

 

John

Subject: help the redhat enterprise AS 3 does not detect the sata drive

 

Hi

 

I bought a new computer hp 6100 micro Tower with the following
cofiguration

Pentuim 4 3.2 GHz

2 GB Ram

2 SATA Maxtor Hard drives each 120GB

but these hard dirves are not detected by the redhat enterprise AS 3 

So I attached a 8GB hard drive IDE and I installed the redhat enterprise
AS 3 on it and I were hoping that after installation it can detect the
sata drives after applying tha update 1 cd but the surprise was that
after installation I did not know how to apply the update 1 cd and the
sata hard disks still not detected so can any one tell me a trusted way
to apply the update 1 cd and what package needed to be upgraded or added
to let the os see the sata hard disks.

Any help will be very appreciated

Thanks

Amro
