It is. Nearly all of the trouble only happens when one also installs Windoze on the same drives.

The whole "two mode" Intel SATA/PATA chip deal is a real mess right now. And it doesn't help much that Jeff G. has working code for it all squirrelled away in his private "git" trees, rather than getting it out where people can use/test it easily.

I don't recommend Redhat and/or Fedora to anyone who wants an easy install anymore.
