FC4 will probably have the necessary drivers, if that is the Thank you very much for taking time to answer. I did trace down a bug report, but it is closed at this point in time. In point of fact, if I can download the next update of the the kernel 2.6.10-something, then the problem goes away. Which means to me that if i had an iso with the latest revision of kernel, then the system would work. and that is why I was wondering about that. I loaded FC2 and it had no problem with identifying an ide drive as an ide drive. But it does not support the ethernet chipset on the motherboard [sigh]. However, with the sata drive formated by FC2, the FC3 installer finds it without problem. I did the install of FC3, but the 2.6.9 kernel panics when the handoff arrives. So... I am doing a minimum installation on an ide drive with FC3. I will do an immediate kernel update, rsync the sata drive to the ide drive, and then edit grub.conf. [All of this with my fingers crossed. ;-) Of course, I am open to suggestions, still. Thanks again. -jp
