Hello peeps,

I've got a nasty problem, and I can't find a solution to it.

System:
Asus A8N-SLI
Samsung 200GB SATA II on SATA_port_1
AMD Athlon 64 3200+

I disables RAID via the BIOS.

I can do

Code:
fdisk /dev/sda


and partition my disk, already containing Windows XP:

Code:

Disk /dev/sda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device        Boot    Start         End     Blocks         Id
/dev/sda1     *             1       6374    51199123+   7
/dev/sda2              6375      11473    40957717+   7
/dev/sda3            11474      18867    59392305     7
/dev/sda4            18868      24321    43809255     5
/dev/sda5            18868      18873         48163    83
/dev/sda6            18874      19125     2024158+  82
/dev/sda7            19126      24321    41736838    82


I made all filesystems, activated swap and mounted them:

Code:

mke2fs /dev/sda5
mke2fs -j -O dir_index /dev/sda7
mkswap /dev/sda6
swapon /dev/sda6
mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/gentoo
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/gentoo/boot


But while untarring I got this error:

Code:

Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 149139
Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 149140
Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 149139
....


/var/log/messages shows:

Code:

Nov 12 23:07:26 livecd attempt to access beyond end of device
Nov 12 23:07:26 hda: rw=0, want=596560, limit=487404
Nov 12 23:07:26 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 149139
...


I check my mount, and hda isn't even mounted!

Code:

...
/dev/sda7 on /mnt/gentoo type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda5 on /mnt/gentoo/boot type ext2 (rw)


I tripple-checked everyting, searched the internet but couldn't find a solution to this problem. What am I doing wrong, or is this a bug? - Thank you :)

hda is probably your CD-ROM drive. Maybe the CD is bad (either the ISO image was truncated, or there was an error when you burned it).

Check your iso by:
Code:
md5sum install-x86-universal-2005.1.iso
(replace file name with your iso's name)
Confront the output with install-x86-universal-2005.1.iso.md5 (you can find your iso's md5 file in the mirror where you've downloaded the iso). :wink:

If md5 correspond, maybe your cdrom driver is damaged.

Sorry for my english :oops:

Stupid me! I should have seen that hda was my cd-rom drive, and that rw=0 was set so it couldn't have to do anything with my hd!

Mental note: don't try to install gentoo if you're sleepy :)

So, please, change the title of the topic (sata disk isn't the problem), and add [SOLVED] if you feel the problem is solved :wink:
