I just tried to install Fedora 7 with "cdrom" as packages
support, but
no drives seems to be detected. I use a P-ATA drive on a Nforce4-4x
powered motherboard (Asus K8N4-E Deluxe) and didn't found any suitable
driver in the list (maybe I missed it ?).
On my machine it is called pata_amd , which is <sarcasm> wonderfully
consistent </sarcasm> with with the Serial ATA driver sata_nv
for the same chip, which is detected and loaded automatically.
