"No device drivers" problem during Enterprise Linux installation

426850Jan 20 2007 — edited May 11 2008
I want to try and see Oracle Enterprise Linux, so I downloaded prepared for the setup. This is a home pc, I use windows upto now and this is the first time I tried to install Linux on this one, here is my configuration;

Mainboard : Gigabyte m61vme-s2 s940
Cpu : AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1,8Ghz
Hd : Samsung 80Gb 72000 rpm 8Mb Sata (2 disks)

When the installer starts first this message box comes;

- WARNING -
No hard drivers have been found. You probably need to manually choose device drivers for the installation to succeed.

Then I continue and;

- DEVICES -
No deivce drivers have been loaded for your system. (Add Device) button

when I click this button a list comes;

- SELECT DEVICE DRIVER TO LOAD -
Please select the driver below which you wish to load. If it does not appear and you have driver disk press F2.

here I both tries to continue with F2 or choose some of the items which I thought may be ok to continue but each time the anaconda installation failed at the Automatic Partitioning step with this message;

- NO DRIVERS FOUND -
An error has occured - No valid devices were found on which to create new file systems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem.

I can use these disks with windows, but still if any hardware problems I do have how can I get detail troubleshooting information? Any links for resources like how to guides will be great.

Thank you,
Best regards.
