how to install linux os on sata hdd

Hi,

At the start of installation, give pci=nomsi, which should solve your problem.

Hello mahadikpgdca,

If you are working with newly released Linux OS, like SuSE 10 or FC 7; you might be get out of this problem. Otherwise you are in the same boat as other people looking for SATA Linux drivers from their manufactures and installing with "linux: boot dd " option at installation...

Good luck,

every current distribution I have tried just installed perfectly on my sata drive
