Hi, I've gotten Fedora Core 1 to work on the SATA disk now. Here's what I did: I installed a second, parallel ATA disk in the computer and installed a basic Fedora system on it. I configured the newly installed Fedora to be able to connect to the internet and updated the kernel to version 2.4.22-1.2149.nptl. Rebooted (with the new kernel) and mounted the SATA disc. I then created a new initial ramdisk image with mkinitrd (see "man mkinitrd" for details). Make sure /etc/modules.conf contains a line like this for the sata_via module: alias scsi_hostadapter sata_via mkinitrd checks for a scsi_hostadapter line in /etc/modules.conf. Then I replaced /boot/initrd-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl.img with the newly created one and copied the entire Fedora system over to the sata disc. I then added an entry for the system on the sata disk to /boot/grub/grub.conf and rebooted into the new system. Then I installed grub on the sata disc, shutdown the machine, removed the second harddisc, booted into the new system and that was it. Installing grub was somewhat of a hassle as the ids for the harddisks changed after I removed the parallel ata one. I you have any more questions, feel free to ask me. Alternatively, you could wait for Fedora Core 2 to come out and see if that works. FC2 test1 is supposed to come out in about a week. I think there will be iso's for that, too. Bye, Levin
