Hi

Cant install RHEL 4 with windows installed getting the following error. All available sata drivers failed to resolve the problem.

"No Drives Found: An error has occurred. No valid devices were found on which to create new file systems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem"

Hitachi HDS721680PLA SATA DISK

PENTIUM D Processor
MainBoard E946GZ

Which driver to be used?
AND How to specify that driver during RHEL install ?

Thanks

RESOLVED
Answring myself that in case someone finds this post he also gets to see the solution:::

when booted up with "boot: linux all-generic-ide noapic nolapic" it detected the SATA drive as "/dev/hdi" without a hitch
