    On a Asus P5AD2-E Premium board, I am using SATA (setup to AHCI not RAID) 300GB
    HDD and a SATA Plextor DVD-RW. There is a 2nd HDD on the ITE (red) ATA (?)
    header set to regular ATA (?) (I mean non-RAID) operation. This is the HDD I
    want to install Linux to. Currently it is booting W2K/DOS for testing
    purposes.

    Fedora Core 4 CDROM #1 on bootup gives me kernel panic. (I've used this disk
    elsewhere to install FC4 so it's not bad).

    I read that I might need to enable AHCI on the setup's kernel, and re-burn the
    modified CDROM.

    Is this an AHCI/SATA issue, or is it something else on the motherboard that
    requires to be enabled in the setup kernel such as the ITE drivers, the SiI
    drivers, the WiFi, the 2x networking, what can it be??? If I disable something
    in the BIOS, will that do the trick?

    BTW I am a complete newbie, so I have NO IDEA how to make another kernel, nor
    do I have a working Linux system to do it on... I need something pre-made!

    Also I tried to step down to FC3. The FC3 CD-ROM #1 boots, but says I need
    more drivers. Selecting AHCI drivers doesn't do it.

    TIA
