FC5 won't recognize my via sata


what is odd is that FC4 detects and installs the drivers perfectly. FC5 fails to see them, thus I can not do an upgrade. Could FC5 have less drivers than FC4. Doesn't seem possible. Any ideas I'm going nuts here.

You could install FC4 on SATA???? I have a seagate barracuda..FC4 didnt detect it at all. Did FC4 automatically detect ur SATA drive.

yes, it automatically detected and installed onto an sata drive. No problems at all. FC5 detects the sata also, and says installing via_sata, but it hangs there for about 8 mins. Doing an control-alt f3 I can go over and see it is loading the driver, but when the screen to install it comes up, it doesn't list the sata drive as a drive to install to.
