Hi CaptainCarisma
I take it that you have the ASUS P5B set up with one or more SATA hard disks, and have nothing connected to the single IDE port.
RH 9 pre-dates motherboard integrated SATA interfaces, so you are out of luck there.
May I suggest that you test your system hardware using a recent Live CD/DVD Linux release and test that the SATA ports are being recognised. Then select a more recent Linux distribution (workstation or server implementation) that was released after SATA interfaces on motherboards became common place.
Also note that there may be other feature hardware on the motherboard which would not be known to RH 9, etc which could also generate install error messages, etc
To advise any further you really need to be more specific in your problem description, specifying the messages that are being reported by the installer.
If you really need to run an OS as old as RH 9, then you need to consider resorting to older hardware, or using a Virtual OS approach (where in the SATA drives may be specified to act as conventional EIDE hard disks).
Regards.
C.
(I run RH 8.0 and 9 systems for specif projects and I'm proud of it - smiles)
