I couldn't start the installation because of two "PCI-IDE: unknown IDE Controller" error messages. Then in the BIOS I changed the "SATA Operation" configuration from "Normal" (default) to "Combination": this causes one of two error messages to disappear and I could install Red Hat. Now Linux is installed but I can boot only in single user mode, otherwise during the boot I have a "PCI-IDE: unknown IDE Controller" error message. How can I fix it?
