Hi ,

In my lab we have purchased a Intel D945GNt Motherboard . It has
Segate SATA hard disk.. I was trying with Fedora Core 3 . It said that
"No hard drive found " . I also tried to install with Debian 3.0 It
also showd no harddisk modules found....

Is it because of Hard Disk or Board itself..
Did any body Installed Linux on Intel D945Board .

Yes, I did about a year and a half ago. The only thing I needed then was to
upgrade the bios. But your should have a newer bios.
That was Madrake 10.1
It was slow as constipated drunk without the bios upgrade.


What is saying "no hard drive found"? Does your bios find the hard drive ?
(look at the bootup stuff. Go into the bios setup.)



Can any onw wht is the problem is it that no drivers are there for
this...

Sure there are.


Perhaps FC3 is just to old for your hardware, I'd urge you to try
FC5 and see if this works better. Perhaps double check with a
*recent* Knoppix, if it can see the hd.

Good luck
