When I booted the Fedora Core 1 install CD, it could not find the SATA
driver, and asked me to install it manually. I have been unable to
discover what driver is needed.
What is the name of the driver? Where can I download it?

I just wanted to report that I had no difficulties installing
Fedora Core 3 on my Asus P4P800 based system. Both the sound
and network were recognized by the installation process (no
video on this motherboard).
I installed it onto twin SATA drives (non-RAID). The SATA drives
are installed as SCSI. DMA is always on for these drives.
One minor hiccup: smartd fails to run at system startup. The error
in /var/log/messages is pretty detailed: smartmontools doesn't yet
support SATA drives. So I disabled smartd to get a seamless bootup.
One other detail: I like to mount a read-only NTFS partition. As
usual with Fedora, the ntfs module hasn't been pre-built. No big
deal, I've been used to building it myself. However, there is no
kernel-sources package anymore. So in addition to the installation
ISO images, I also had to download the kernel source RPM. This,
and other issues are covered in the release notes.
