Smile Problem Solved: Asus and Intel Original and Some Motherboard REHL9 Installation


There is a problem regarding RED HAT LINUX 9 installation on ASUS, Intel Original and some other motherboard that after entering the Linux CD into the drive and after some step it is prompting for 1. installation method selection or 2. alert message with no device driver found or both complication is occuring which stops the installation. But my friend just check your Hard Disk Drive and your CD/DVD Disk Drive. If it has happend that you are using both those drive as SATA there is a problem for those motherboard as they does not have SATA device driver for Linux although they have it for Windows. So there is only one solution to install Linux is to change both those SATA drive to PATA drive and then you have the RED HAT LINUX 9 installaed on your computer. Hope this idea helps many of the linux users.

A better solution would be to not use an outdated version that doesn't work with newer hardware, gets no bugfixes and security fixes. Red Hat Linux 9 (it is not RHEL 9, RHEL is a different distribution with 6.0 as current version) was released in 2003 is is End-of-Life for a long time.
If you want a current distribution based on Red Hat then use either RHEL or Fedora, or one of the derivatives, like CentOS or Scientific Linux.

Sorry for the subject line error. Off course I am informing about RED HAT LINUX 9 not for RHEL. Thus, I have shorted it myself as REHL9. There is a specific SATA device problem for some of the motherboard and for training purposes many of the student requires Red Hat Linux 9 installation on their computer, where these problem occurs.

If they really need to use it (at first they should ask there teachers why they should risk their system with an OS version with massive security holes and no support) I would recommend to not make a native install but use Virtualbox or similar solutions.
