Shalom,

It would be extremely helpful to know what Linux you are installing. I have two servers booting SATA in the US with RH ES 4.0 update 3 no issues with that at all.

Hello Nanda,

You should send us more information, like Linux distribution, hardware etc etc...

Can depend from most things, bad SATA Controller configuration, Bios problem, Linux distro not supporting this controller etc etc...

You may have to re-compile your kernel for sata support, check the sata controller chipset by doing an "lspci -v"

Depending on your motherboard, you may be able to find driver disks that are specifically for your array.

They normally patch the "/boot/initrd" so that the SATA driver is available before the full kernel is booted.
