>Release:        5.4-RELEASE
>Organization:
University of Michigan Center for Ultrafast Optical Science
>Environment:
Install not possible from 5.4-RELEASE iso CD.
>Description:
      Using a SuperMicro X6DA8-G2 mainboard w/ dual Xeon Nocona procs, Intel E7525 chipset, which as a subset uses the ICH5R super-I/O chip for SATA drive communications. The 5.4-RELEASE distro doesn't see any attached SATA drives, and as a result the install was not possible on this system. Using a 6-CURRENT snapshot from 15 March 2005, I had no problems with SATA communications (other problems, but I expected that).
>How-To-Repeat:
      Try installing 5.4-RELEASE from CD on a SuperMicro X6DA8-G2 mainboard to a SATA HDD. Presuming SuperMicro doesn't change chipsets on later versions of this board, you won't see any attached hard drives to install to.
>Fix:
      The 6-CURRENT snapshot from 15 March 2005 sees the SATA drives just fine when installing from CD.
