Unable to install Centos on AMD Motherboard (SB850)
Upgrading our Freeswitch server to a newer PC which has an AMD SB850 chipset motherboard and Centos is unable to install since it does not have the SATA drivers support. First tried finding a driver with no success. Then tried seeing when Centos 6 was going to be released but it looks like nobody really knows. So now I'm looking at Ubuntu 11.4 as a possible OS. I like Centos but if it can't keep up and can only support older equipment I'm wondering if it is the right platform for us. Is anybody using Ubuntu 11.4 and how does Freeswitch work on it? Thanks cjb

Does your BIOS have an AHCI setting, possibly you are in some RAID mode?
Yes thought about that and set it to sata and still not recognized by Centos cjb -----Original Message----- From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Joseph L.

Boot a Fedora 14/15 live cd and do a lspci and boot the CentOS installer, drop to a shell and do the same, getting OT for this list but it might prove insightful to see the difference. RHEL makes a ddiskit util to build a dd image for adding support but seriously, for the cost of a mobo, I'd just get something different myself:) jlc
If you like CentOS/RedHat, go for Scientific Linux, it's a clone of RHEL 6 If you want to go Ubuntu, stay with 10.04 LTS On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 4:18 PM, Joseph L. Casale <jcasale@activenetwerx.com> wrote:

You're better off asking the people over at CentOS to see how you are going to be able to install the OS for your specific board, but as others have outlined, SL 6 will support the board you're using because of it being a newer distro.
