I am impressed, as the install went out of the box, just as I was used to by other RedHat versions. So, first of, thanks a lot to all who contributed to that port. However, I tried adding a new harddrive (SEAGATE Model: ST39173LC), which supposedly has around 9 GBytes, and cannot access that drive. The message displayed at bootup is shown below. I am not sure, whether the announcement Jakub Jelinek made concerning the most recent changes would help me out with this. I would appreciate any comments to that.
