Intel 82801EB chipset issue

[surya prabhakar]

Dear All ,
    I have an IBM Mpro with Intel 875p motherboard with SATA (ICH5 ) 82801EB chip on it . THe problem is this chipset is not recognised in redhat 7.3 , does not get installed ,it cannot find the neither harddrive or cdrom drives ( IDE only not SATA ) . I need it working on redhat 7.3 (2.4.18-3) . Any suggestive patch /work-around will be highly appreciated .

Thanks and regards

You have a few options:

1) Install on another drive, get latest kernel.org kernel, add
libata support to it. Recompile it, install it, run it.
Copy system to SATA drive. Use it.

2) Install on another drive, get latest Fedora Core 1 kernel,
recompile it after disabling ntpl support in it. Install and run
kernel.Copy system to SATA drive. Use it.

3) Install something else (For instance Fedora Core 1) that has
native support for that controller.

"Another drive" means "another machine" btw. One that is supported.

hi ,
   thx for the suggestion .  The problem is I have some tools which are only supported by vendors on redhat 7.3 ( i mean with this kernel 2.4.18-3) . I cant change the kernel . So I am looking for a patch I mean add some support for 82801EB in piix.c or pci-irq.c , something like that . I have found some patches in kernelnewbies.org but they all cater to 2.4.20 , the structure of the kernel in drivers/ide is different . Further u go up to 2.4.21EL kernel there is no piix.c , it is replaced by ata_piix.c , I am not able to patch it .Further I have to make it working on 2.4.18-27.7.x also ( that is redhat upgraded kernel ) .
