Hi,

I have tried to install Whitebox Linux x86_64 update 1 on a machine that
I have just put together but it errors at the disk druid section saying
that it has not found a drive to install the OS on.

The motherboard is an Asus SK8V board with both a promise SATA (Promise
20378 RAID) and via SATA chipset (VT8237 RAID).

I have looked for a WBEL3.0 / RHEL3.0 driver for both chipsets but to no
avail - does this mean I am stuck?
