No, I cannot. FC4 is no longer supported anyway. Support for fedora is now for only available for the two current versions. Right now that is FC5 and FC6. When Fedora 7 is released(April?) support for FC5 will be dropped.

I order for anyone to tell you why, you will need to provide more information. What type of drive (sata/pata), 32bit or 64bit, and what the EXACT error message was (or at least behavior).

Most of the sata controler drivers were not on the FC4 (or even up to FC6) install disks. If you can find a respin for FC4 (the FC6 respin has most of them) it MAY have support for the sata controler.

I had a lot of problems with SATA Raid drivers on FC4. They are solvable but as mentioned before I would strongly suggest you go to FC6. Also check your BIOS and make sure you have updated it.
