Hi, I have problem to install Fedora Core 1 to a SATA hard disk connected to the VIA VT8237 SATA controller on the ASUS A7V600 motherboard (VIA KT600 chipset). The Fedora installer cannot see the SATA disk. I searched this mailing list and found a link to Mike Insch's mini-HOWTO http://fedoranews.org/contributors/mike_insch/sata/. I created the driver diskette as described in the howto (the only difference was that I used the same PC with FC1 installation on a temporary connected ATA IDE disk). When I attempt to install Fedora onto a SATA only system and use the driver diskette I am not able to succesfully load the driver. Switching to the VC3 terminal (CTRL+ALT+F3) I can see the messages about unresolved symbols: ... *module viamraid found on driver disk 1 *loaded viamraid from /tmp/ramfs/DD-0/modules.cgz /tmp/viamraid.o: unresolved symbol scsi_unregister_Rd039d977 /tmp/viamraid.o: unresolved symbol scsi_register_Rc1833384 /tmp/viamraid.o: Hint: You are trying to load module without a GPL compatible license and it has unresolved symbols. Contact the module supplier for assistence, only they can help you. *failed to insert /tmp/viamraid.o I continued to work around this problem as described in Section 6 of Mike's HOWTO and I wanted to correct the hex digits after scsi_registerR and scsi_unregister_R strings in viamraid.o-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl. But unlike Mike I have nothing to correct, the hex digits are same as those I could see in the VC3 terminal. I think that it is because I created the driver on the same PC as the PC I am installing to. Mike used different donor PC. Does anybody know how to succesfully load the viamraid driver? Does anybody have a working viamraid driver diskette for FC1? Thanks for any advice Radek Zavicak
