Redhat 6.1 installation problem

[gio123bg]

Hi All,
I'm trying to install Redhat 6.1 on my new pc (Acer) but I can't end my installation process because of a type drive selection.
More exactly I have changed the boot sequence and set it to boot from a cd-rom drive in Bios environment. I have observed that to solve my first problem

" PCI-IDE: unknow IDE controller on PCI bus 00 device fa, vid=8086, did=2928

I have changed in Bios environment:

"D2D recovery:" from IDE ---> to AHCI

Then I have observed that I have passed this step but I am stuck with this problem:

Which drive should I try?[*] Specify module parameters

I have tried all devices shown in the list but without success.

Any help will be well appreciated.
many thanks in advance for your kind support.
Regards,

Giovanni

redhat 6.1 is from 1999..
Do yourself a favour and use a newer linux.

RedHat Enterprise 5.4: you need to buy a subscription (Server OS)
CentOS 5.4: binary compatible with RedHat, free to use (Server OS)
Fedora 12: also free, this is the "development branch" of redhat (Server/Desktop)
Ubuntu 9.10: free (Desktop)
etc

Redhat 6.1 installation problem

Welcome to the forums!

RH 6.1 didn't come with any SATA drivers and your new Acer most likely came with a SATA drive. As recommended by the other poster above, you should look for a later distribution if you want to take advantage of the features offered by your new computer.
