Guest lonecrow Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 I just got a fresh copy of LE2005 yesterday, and told myself I'd give it a try since I was unsuccessful with 10.0. Now I get to install this on my laptop until I get the following error: No valid devices were found on which to create new filesystems. This is a copy and paste from the kernel message. On the GUI interface it says: Found INTEL corp.|82801|FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller. it asks me if I want to look for other drivers, but how the hell should I know what are my drivers for this disk? Then each times I try another driver, it says to input some kind of parameter... I'm far from being a genius in Linux, but at first I believe this is a problem with my hard disk? But on the compatibility list of Mandriva, it says it is supported. http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/hardware....icher&id=975881 I'd need somebody to shed my lights on this please!! I must says that I had partitioned my drive D: with acronis partition expert using EXT3 prior to installation. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 You probably need to poke the BIOS, specifically settings relating to the hard drive. I can't be too specific as I don't have such hardware here, but I've heard motherboards with this type of SATA controller need specific BIOS settings for Linux to use the SATA controller properly.
