Fedora Core 5 not seeing sata drive

[biggsk]

Has anyone else had this issue?
I am trying to install FC5, using kernel 2.6.16, but it is not recognizing the sata drives, and get the error "no drives found".

When I load up Fedora 9 I get the following output:

But I need to get it working with Fedora Core 5.
Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

SATA was not invented when Fedora Core 5 was out. Why Fedora Core 5?

Can you boot from the DVD, chroot, and then run:

lspci

[biggsk]

I have a project and I need to use the 2.6.16 kernel.
SATA support was available in the 2.4.27 kernel, and up.
I was just seeing if anyone had heard of an issue with 2.6.16, and maybe knew of a work around or patch...

Ill post the output from "lspci" when I get a chance

Thanks all.

This has been resolved.
Changing the SATA mode in the BIOS from IDE to RAID fixed it.

Thanks all!!
