It's well known that Jmicron JMB 363 SATA PATA controller is not currently supported by RHEL AS 4 U4 , what causes failure to intstall RHEL 4.4 from IDE CDROM on the box built up on ASUS P5B Deluxe MB. Work around for this issue follows bellow.
CentOS 4.4 has been istalled on the box as a second operating system
utilizing SATA DVD RW connected to Intel's ICH8R SouthBridge
(SATA,RAID) port. Both Intel ICH8R and Jmicron JMB363 controllers
had been turned into AHCI mode before first OS (Windows 2003) install.
Driver for Marvell Youkon Gigabit Ethernet Adapter has been downloaded from ...
It's important to note that SouthBridge must support AHCI on
mentioned motherboards.
Intel ICH8R (ASUS P5B-E,P5B-E plus,P5B Deluxe) will work for us, but Intel ICH8 (ASUS P5B ) won't.
Jmicron JMB 363 and Intel's South Bridge ICH8R have been turned into AHCI mode in BIOS Setup due to CentOS 4.4 already running on the box. Solaris Express installer doesn't detect SATA HDD Seagate 160 GB attached to (SATA,RAID) port of Intel ICH8R . Note that CentOS 4.4, Fedora Core 6,SUSE 10.2 does detect this drive without problems.
Solaris Express installer detects IDE HDD attached to Jmicron JMB 363 PATA port. However, after install /boot/grub/grub.conf doesn't look ready to work.No hdX for root appears to be found. Checks have been done from Belenix 0.5.1 environment.
As far as I can see I've tried Nevada build 52
