I have a problem with installation of fedora 8 or 9 on a couple of pcs. The problem seems to be, that anaconda doesn't find any harddisks. One computer is a Transtec rackmount server, 2x Dual-Core AMD Opteron with nVidia chipset. When running Fedora 7, the modules sata_nv and pata_amd are loaded (btw, is it possible to see which one of them is responsible for accessing the disks?). When booting anaconda (dvd or from preupgrade), only libata and ata_generic get loaded, and the messages indicate that no disks are found. This happens both with Fedora 8 and with Fedora 9. On the other computer, a Dell Precission 390, Intel Core2, Intel 975 chipset, it is essentially the same problem, only there it is the ata_piix module that is present in fedora 7 and doesn't get loaded in Fedora 8/9. The weird thing here is, we have other Dell systems which should have identical specifications, which work just fine under Fedora 8 (haven't tried Fedora 9 on those machines yet since 8 works just fine) So the question is: is it possible to tell the kernel, or anaconda, to load certain modules, or to force a more complete detection of the hardware present in the system, or any other tips to get these machines installed properly?
