RHEL 4 AS - Driver Disc for SATA Controller?
Hello everyone... I still think I'm kind of a n00b here, so bear with me. Hopefully I can get my point across here...
I just built a server / workstation. I've got all the parts in the case, and it's running perfectly, but nothing is installed on it.
It's running a Tyan S2891 Thunder K8SRE motherboard, with 12 GB of RAM. It's got dual AMD Opteron (Italy) 270s.
Problem is this: I ordered RHEL 4 AS and we want to use this as the OS. When I try to install it, it won't pick up the drivers for the SATA controller.
Judging by the book and the driver CD, the SATA controller is the Silicon Image 3114 controller. When I boot off the CD, it asks me for a driver disc. I tried to use the driver disc that came with the Mobo, but looking at the drivers on the CD, I only see the drivers for Red Hat Valhalla, and 9.2. Upon looking at SI's website, I found some beta drivers that appeared to be compatible with the 2.4 core, not the new 2.6 kernel?
Unfortunately, on the website they didn't have the source code for the drivers either, so I can't build my own.
Basically, my questions are:
A) Is this supported in the 2.6 kernel? I figure I could try to install Fedora Core 4 and find out, but I don't want to do this unless I have to.
B) I assume this is a pretty common "high performance" motherboard, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS would be one of the most common OSes for this setup. Is there a driver for this SI chip?
Thanks a lot!
