AHCI is described as a "nice, open design" by Jeff Garzik (http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html#ahci) who is behind the current Linux SATA support. I'm surprised that it doesn't "just work". As other people have suggested, you might try playing with what BIOS options you have. You might also care to try the latest Rawhide rescue CD (http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/iso/) to see if that can detect the drive. If it can't, please post a bug in Bugzilla. If it *can*, try a respin from the Fedora Unity project. Any drivers you need will come as part of the kernel, not as a separate download. Hope this helps, James. -- New address: james | 'Sir, they've taken Mr. Rimmer!' @aprilcottage.co.uk | 'Quick, let's get out of here before they bring him | back!' | -- Kryten and Cat, 'Red Dwarf'
