Thanks for testing. Ah... weird. Here's what I know till now.
1. In your BIOS, enhanced means ahci mode while compatible mode means IDE mode,
which is a bit unusual as most BIOSen use enhanced/compatible for IDE
enhanced/legacy modes.
2. When in ahci mode, detection works fine && the installer is also loading
fine (the drive reads data successfully under ahci), but the drive times out a
read request after a while and never comes back. It's not too uncommon for
ATAPI drives to completely check out after certain failures including media
problems, so I would suggest a media problem but compatible mode working
doesn't really fit.
3. After installing in compatible mode, you should be able to switch to
enhanced mode. The ATAPI device might fail the same way but the disk should
work fine and as unique device ID is used to mount file systems, it should just
work. Dunno why it's not working yet.
So, we're seeing two different problems and I'm a bit lost at the moment.
Can you please post /etc/sysconfig/kernel from the installed system? Also,
just in case, can you please burn another installation media and see whether
the problem persists?
Thanks.
