I'm trying to install Red Hat 8.0 on a XPS with Serial ATA hard drives. Support for this isn't there until kernel 2.4.21, and Red Hat's installer uses an earlier one. So I don't have a HD.
I've seen someone say you can turn on ATA compatability mode in the BIOS, but the XPS bios setup is very bland, and I can't seem to find this. Is there a BIOS update that can include this?
Or is there a driver disk for whatever SATA controller chip the XPS uses (intel 875p chipset)?

Thanks
