i tried to install redhat linux enterprise edition WS version 5 on the my system with the following configuration

Pentium core 2 duo 2.13
Intel D945GCL motherboard
320gb Maxator hard disk (SATA)
Liton DVD/WR
LG CD WRITER
1024 mb RAM

BUT AM GETTING AN ERROR INDICATING THAT drivers not found

then i used the command "linux all-generic-ide"

it was installed sucessfully ,

but after the successful installation it shows me a message that u can reboot , i have rebooted the machine but i still got new message , the new messages says:

uncompressing linux..ok, booting the kernel.

It kind of sounds like you don't have SATA support in your kernel. The fact that the kernel cannot mount your root partition makes me almost certain that the kernel is incapable of handling SATA drives. I'm no Red Hat expert, but you might have to choose a special option in the installation process to install a kernel that does have support for SATA.

Hi Anitha,

RHEL5 has SATA and SCSI support in its kernel.

The error shows that / partition is not mountable.
Did you go to rescue mode and change the e2labels for the /partition?
